Bus Service coming to Gadsden!

New postby TD* » March 4th, 2010, 8:57 pm

After years and years of talk, Gadsden county is getting bus service!

The new bus service will run from Quincy to Tallahassee with stops in Midway and at Tcc.

The service will be extrememly affordable and only cost 1.00

The new service is funded through a grant and is covered for 2 years.

Sources say this is just the beginning, and gadsden hopes to expand the bus service to other communities in the county soon!


This is HUGE news. Affordable mass transit for CHEAP!

This is great. Finally some semblance of regional cooperation around here! Now things might actually start looking like an honest to God metro and not just four counties sitting next to each other.

I really hope we can add Wakulla County to that system in the not too distant future, namely Crawfordville of course. Fingers crossed!

This seems encouraging. It makes changing the name of our transit system from TalTran to StarMetro all the more worth while. Many people have told me stories about having to get rides to Tallahassee for school daily, it is nice to know they'll have another option for at least two years in the future.

Tally, thats because you don't understand the concepts of regionalism and how having this service is a help to residents and the economic growth and viability of the entire region.

And apparently "I'm a 5 year old who knows nothing about Tallahasssee" TD and I's inside joke :lol:

BUT NO, I don't want other places in the region to grow. Just this city. Like say if you have 1000 people wanting to move in this metro area. Right now, I say around 700 would come to Tallahassee. Add bus system to Quincy, 500 move to Tallahassee, add hospital, 300 move to Tallahassee. It lowers our city's population growth.
