LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Two Louisville bus routes will run on different schedules starting next month, the Transit Authority of River City (TARC) said Wednesday.

"Route 10 - Dixie Rapid" and "Route 23 - Broadway" will change slightly starting June 12.

“This is an improvement for two of our major routes that passengers should be happy to see,” Carrie Butler, executive director of TARC, said in a news release Wednesday. “We are balancing resources to provide better service for TARC passengers where it is most needed, on two highly used, frequent routes. Shorter travel time and 15-minute frequency will significantly improve passengers’ experience on their daily trips.”

The changes are laid out below, courtesy of TARC:

Route 10 - Dixie BRT
