    "body_md": "Anchorage People Mover, the city's public bus system, is rolling out service changes starting January 22. A new Route 51 will connect Centennial Village directly to the Muldoon Transit Hub, filling a gap that has existed for years. Routes 85 and 91 are being merged to streamline service in South Anchorage and cut down on confusing overlaps, while Route 92 will get more frequent trips and new stops.\n\nFor daily riders, the changes could mean shorter waits and fewer transfers if the new schedules hold. Occasional riders may need a few weeks to get used to the new map before it makes sense.\n\nPeople Mover says the goal is better reliability without expanding the overall system footprint. The timing means riders will be adjusting to new routes during January, not the easiest month to relearn transit in Anchorage.",
