Friday July 3 will be a weekday schedule.
Saturday July 4 will be a Saturday schedule.
In a regular year July and August ridership drops off normally upwards of 10%
accounting for Summer vacation season the largest factor - but with the ridership loss
over the Spring huge it is going to be well into Fall 2020 until any substantial portion
of ridership returns to RRD depending on the course of recovery from the pandemic.
These changes are a good sign that at least some normalcy is returning to the RRD.
