How to apply for Henry County Transit — Senior Fare (60+) — Henry County in Georgia
Henry County Government — Transit Department
Who it's for
Henry County Transit is the county's demand-response public transportation, providing curb-to-curb rides for medical appointments, shopping, social activities, and work. Since August 3, 2026, riders 60 and older pay $3.00 each time they board, compared with $6.00 for riders 59 and younger. Pay with exact change; the county no longer sells fare tickets. Book rides up to 7 days ahead; same-day rides are usually not available. The service is especially valuable in Henry County, where there is no fixed-route bus system. Call 770-288-RIDE (7433) to register and book a ride.
Henry County Transit is demand-response (curb-to-curb) with advance reservation, not a fixed-route bus; riders 60+ pay $3.00 per boarding vs $6.00 for younger riders. Trip availability depends on capacity, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
