SMART Transit announced on Thursday that its public bus service in Moscow will temporarily halt operations starting on Friday. On Friday, officials provided further details regarding the service disruption. Executive Director Casey Green stated that the cancellation of one of their insurance policies has created a lapse in coverage, necessitating the pause in operations. Green noted that the situation is beyond SMART Transit’s control. The agency is actively working to restore the insurance coverage, although the process is taking longer than initially anticipated.
