Greensboro Transit Agency Bus Service Reinstated

Press release from the City of Greensboro:

April 29, 2020

Greensboro Transit Agency (GTA) has reinstated the fixed-route bus service serving Routes 21 through 27, 12A and 15. The afternoon arrival of operators and staff made public transit available for commutes from employment and other necessary travel. Additional service modifications are possible.

The temporary halt of service that began Wednesday morning due to a positive bus operator COVID-19 diagnosis and subsequent temporary operator shortage allowed GTA maintenance crews and professional firms to perform extensive cleaning and disinfecting of buses and transit facilities. Also during the stoppage, fruitful discussions between operators and management contractor Keolis North America assured returning staff would have concerns immediately addressed for the protection of operators and riders.

GTA service remains fare-free during the COVID-19 pandemic. Riders are encouraged to continue following prescribed CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus and flatten the curve. Additional service information is available by following GTA on Twitter @gtaheat and Instagram @gtaheatbus. Find your bus easily by downloading our free bus tracker at gtaheat.transloc.com
