Star Bus ridership rising; city exploring schedule changes and Hays County grant
Summary
Staff reported Star Bus ridership through September 2025 (fiscal reporting) has increased after a dip in 2024 and said the city is considering operating multiple riders on different days to expand service; staff also said the city is reapplying for a Hays County grant to support Star Bus operations.
City staff presented Star Bus ridership statistics through September 2025 and said ridership increased in mid‑2025 after a decline in 2024. Staff described steps to improve scheduling — for example, having one Star Bus rider operate Monday and Wednesday and another handle the other days — and said internal logistics for a new scheduling app are underway.
"We did have a pretty large increase in ridership July, August, and September of last year," staff said, and noted the city is applying for a Hays County grant to support the program. Staff offered to pull more detailed data on how much of the service is within the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) for the next meeting so the commission can track where demand is growing.
