Knoxville, TN (WVLT) Knoxville Area Transit, better known as KAT, is implementing a detour after a man reported a bus lane hopping to avoid traffic near Dogwood Elementary School.
KAT Marketing and Communications Manager Dylana Kent confirmed to WVLT News that someone had complained on social media and even visited KAT’s office about the issue. That person, who also reached out to WVLT, said KAT’s Route 40 bus regularly moved into the wrong lane of traffic on Moody Avenue to avoid backups.
WVLT News also reached out to the Knoxville Police Department about the bus activity. A department representative said they had recently received one complaint, but did not know of any ongoing issues.
Kent said the detour started Monday and would continue throughout the academic year when traffic gets heavy around the school. The full route can be found here.
