service change

Route temporarily altered

A service change is an alteration to regular operations, typically in transit systems or utilities.

Trains and buses announce service changes when routes, schedules, or stops are modified: Due to construction, there will be service changes on the downtown line this weekend.

The term also applies to adjustments in subscription plans or contractual arrangements.
