B.G. Transit is joining the Ohio Public Transit Association’s statewide initiative, “Ohio Loves Transit 2021” Feb. 8 through Feb. 13. The endeavor’s purpose is to communicate the importance of public transit within this community and statewide.
Transit works for Ohio employees and employers. It provides reliable and affordable transportation to job centers. Transit drives the economy by giving individuals access to work and by providing businesses access to workers.
Public transportation serves community places including universities, airports, sports arenas and shopping centers. Last year, the B.G. Transit provided over 30,000 rides in the Bowling Green area.
The B.G. Transit is fully accessible to persons with disabilities, and open to all for use. In service for 33 years, hours of operation are Monday through Friday 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
For rides originating and ending within Bowling Green’s corporation limits, the general fare (one-way) is $4. For rides originating and/or ending outside the city limits, the general fare is $4.50. With a transit ID card, half-priced fares are available to people aged 65 years or older, children (4-13 years of age) and those with disabilities.
