Who it's for

Call 910-299-0127 at least two business days ahead to book a ride or ask about reduced fares.
Anyone in Sampson County can ride for the regular fare. The age and disability screen reflects the reduced out-of-county medical fare for elderly and disabled riders; the county does not publish an exact senior age, so call to confirm. Book at least two business days ahead.
