Kanawha buses to help at Olympics
Kanawha Regional Transportation Authority will send five buses to Atlanta to assist with Olympic travel during a six week period. The U S Olympic Committee asked for public transportation buses to meet expected high demand as about 2 million spectators attend the Games running July 19 to August 4. The buses are under two years old and accessible, and Charleston riders will still have enough buses for normal routes.
