MORE BOND COUNTY TRANSIT STOPS

Due to high demand, Bond County Transit is making more stops to accommodate passengers. Bond County Transit Director Terry Adcock said there will be approximately 9 more stops added in Greenville. The transit will still provide a “call on demand” service with residential pickups similar to a taxi service. Because of the high increase in need for the Bond County Transit they have added the stop to decrease wait time and make for a more organized route. The new bus stop is located across from the Globe Theatre and the bus will stop every 30 minutes. With the changes, bus fare has remained the same.
