Athens City School District adds The Plains and Chauncey Dover areas to its routes after merging, creating 21 buses serving about 3,500 students across 90 square miles. Roach notes buses will cover roughly 867 miles daily and 150,000 miles yearly, with a single routing for The Plains and Chauncey Dover due to sparse population.
