scheduling of trams
I am working on a document about tramway schedules in Algiers. The following heading occurs:
"Régulation des circulations en mode dégradé"
From the context, I assume this is movement during off-peak hours. Is there a specific term for this?

reduced service/schedule
agree with Charles that it's not off-peak hours but rather weekend and holiday schedules
Peer comment(s):

Carlos Segura
: Yes, or restricted. For off-peak I would have expected "heures creuses" or "hors pointe".

under-serviced traffic control
Hello,
My understanding is that traffic control services have been reduced for whatever reason.
I hope this helps.

Though polyglot45's "downgraded mode" is also OK.
