Hampton Roads Transit officials will extend bus service to Norfolk International Airport through March 31.

They want more time to gather information to determine whether the new route should be permanent, according to an HRT news release. The service had been scheduled to run through March 10.

If 10 riders per hour use the service, HRT could continue the new route 7. The hourly service runs from 5 a.m. until 11:47 p.m., seven days a week and costs $1.50 per trip.

Route 7 serves the arrivals and departures terminals on the hour and connects riders with the downtown area and Cedar Grove Transfer facility by way of Norview Avenue and Tidewater Drive.

It also serves the Bromley, East Norview, Five Points, and Green Hill Farms neighborhoods along Norview Avenue, which were not being served by HRT.
