Public Bus System to Expand on Coast

Public transit on Georgia’s coast is expanding thanks to federal stimulus money. A bus system running through nine counties will begin operating weekdays during business hours starting late summer.

With the help of $2.5 million from the federal stimulus package, riders will be able to book a trip to anywhere in Glynn, Camden, McIntosh, Long, Chatham, Effingham, Bryan, Liberty and Screven counties for just $3 per county.

If they're popular enough, officials say the buses could run on weekends and longer hours during the week.
