Rochester, NY: RTS Genesee announced today that it will begin testing a pilot bus route in January 2016 that will connect Genesee Community College’s (GCC) College Village to the business district. The pilot route will also connect the Walden Estates and Woodstock Gardens apartment complexes to businesses on the west side of town. RTS Genesee has aligned this service with local business hours to connect customers with retail, entertainment and dining destinations.
The pilot route will operate approximately from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. every Friday that GCC is in session, between January 22 and May 13, 2016. The pilot route will not be in service when GCC students are on break. The standard fare of $1 for a one-way ride will apply.
“This pilot route is a result of input from our customers and conversations with GCC and the business improvement district,” said James Mott, regional manager of RTS Genesee. “GCC and the people of Genesee County have been valued partners of RTS for many years and it’s our hope this pilot route becomes popular enough to make it a permanent addition.”
More information, including the pilot route schedule will be available later this year.
