Hall Area Transit holds hearings for proposed changes
7/3/2012

Hall Area Transit is proposing service changes to curtail expenses and better meet residents' needs. The changes would decrease operating hours, add a new route, increase fares, add options for daily and monthly passes, and increase the age limit of children who may ride for free. The public is invited to provide input on the proposal through July 23.



Highlights of the proposed changes:

• Operating hours for Hall Area Transit are proposed to change from 6:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.

• Operating hours for Route 2 would be reduced, and a new Route 7 would be created to serve the Hall County Government Center on Browns Bridge Road.

• Fares would increase from $1 to $1.25 for an adult, from $.50 to $1 for children and students, and from $.50 to $.60 for seniors and disabled riders.

• Children age 6 and under would be free, rather than age 2 and under.

• An unlimited one-day pass as well as a monthly pass would be added to the rate structure.

• Monday, July 23, 1 p.m., Hall Area Transit, 487 Main St., Gainesville
