It runs a deviated fixed route, paratransit, and demand-response service from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, with limited trips to Asheville, Waynesville, Franklin, and Bryson City. The base fare is $1.00 per boarding, with discounted multi-ride tickets and monthly passes. Call 828-586-0233 to schedule a ride.
Anyone may ride; older adults and riders with disabilities are a priority group. The published base fare is $1.00 per boarding (cheaper with a ticket booklet or monthly pass); no separate senior-discount fare was listed, so confirm current pricing by phone.
