The Flyer will be rerouted starting May 20 through May 26 due to the NATO security perimeter, according to the spokesperson.
It will travel through Wright Stop Plaza from Jefferson Street to Main Street, instead of turning left down Third Street.
“All passengers who normally get off at the bus stop outside of The Arcade should utilize the stop at the hub,” the spokesperson said.
