MEO bus services on Molokai are returning to normal following the recent storms, with the exception of the East route.

The East route, which was fully suspended on Tuesday, will reopen Wednesday with a modified route. Buses will only travel as far as Kilohana School.

Following an inspection by MEO officials, significant amounts of thick mud were found at the turnaround in Pukoo (Mile Marker 16). For safety reasons, East route buses will now turn around at Kilohana School (Mile Marker 13).

The organization also thanked Kilohana School Principal Shona Mae Pineda for allowing MEO to utilize the school parking lot.

The shortened route will remain in place at least through the end of the week.

In other storm-related updates, the MEO Head Start preschool in Kaunakakai will reopen on Wednesday.

For questions, please call the MEO Molokai office at (808) 553-3216.
