Public transportation plays a significant role in finding smart solutions to the environmental challenges facing our communities today. Mass transit offers an effective way for individuals to reduce their energy use and carbon footprints - with immediate results. Utilizing public transportation exceeds the combined benefits of measures such as using energy-efficient light bulbs, adjusting thermostats, weatherizing one's home, and replacing a refrigerator. Join the millions of individuals across the country who already take advantage of this valuable service.
To schedule a ride, simply contact dispatch at 866-577-6278. A dispatcher is standing by to talk with you and discuss your transportation needs. Requests for transportation should be made 24-48 hours in advance.
Let the dispatcher know who, when, where you are and where you’d like to go. Be prepared to let them know how many people will be riding and if you need a return trip.
You’ve done all you need to do! Relax, wait patiently and let us take care of the scheduling. Be ready 15 minutes prior to your scheduled pickup time. Remember, same day service is not guaranteed and 24 hour notice is required for our Inter-City Routes (Metropolis to Paducah, Cairo to Carbondale and Cairo to Cape)
Enjoy the ride! Our clean fleet of vehicles are well maintained on site via an experienced crew of mechanics and state of the art facility. You can count on us when you need us the most!
