Proposed Changes for Maui Bus Routes
Maui Bus collected feedback on the proposed route and schedule changes between November 15 and December 31, 2021, through pop-up meetings at major transit stops, an online survey, and a virtual public hearing on Facebook Live. The project team is currently using the public feedback to come up with recommendations for the Maui Bus system that may be implemented over the next few years. Keep an eye out for updates in Spring 2022.
The proposed changes are split across four areas of the island: Central Maui, West Maui, South Maui, Upcountry and Haiku. You can view the proposed changes for for each area below:

Route 3 is a new route connecting the Kahului Airport with Queen Kaahumanu Center. Buses would arrive every 30 minutes.
