What does the code 10-43 communicate?

The code 10-43 is used to communicate that there is a gap filler, which means that a vehicle is being utilized to fill in gaps in service. This is important for maintaining efficient operations, especially in scenarios where regular service may be disrupted or when demand for service is unexpectedly high. The use of gap fillers ensures that passengers have access to reliable transportation options, even when regular service patterns are challenged.

Understanding this code helps transit staff coordinate effectively and respond to service needs promptly, ensuring that the public is informed and can depend on the system's responsiveness.
