Commuter Transit Test Ends in Midlands
A three week Transportation Department trial in the Midlands reports some success with as many as 80 daily park and ride users switching to Free SmartRide buses to Columbia. The Central Midlands Regional Transit Authority must decide if the program should continue for Newberry Lexington Kershaw and Richland counties. Chairman Butch Spires hopes at least one route remains. He expects a $1 daily or $10 weekly fare.
