There weren’t any changes from 2008/09 to 2009/10.

Sadly, they weren’t even able to designate one route as being accessible.

Since I have nothing to compare to from last year, I’ll compare to 1999. The good people at archive.org provide us with an old copy of the city’s web site:

On average, most routes had this for service:

• 1/2 hour service during the morning rush
• 2 hour service during the day
• 1/2 hour service during the evening rush
• big 2 hour gap
• 1 or 2 night runs

Today, we have:

• 1/2 hour service during the morning rush
• 1 hour service during the day
• 1/2 hour service during the evening rush
• big 2 hour gap
• 1 or 2 night runs

They also added Route 9 and improved Saturday service on some routes.

We’re much better off than we were 10 years ago. It might not look like it above, but that 1 hour service during the day does help a lot of riders. Hopefully we’ll be much better off in 10 years.

Also, look at the paint scheme from 1999, which is better than the 1980 paint scheme.
