Shenandoah County's public buses ready to roll Oct. 4

Shenandoah County residents will soon have access to a bus system that will take them to various points in the county.

In two weeks, the county will debut a new public transit bus service dubbed “ShenGo Transit,” which is set to begin operation on Oct. 4. The service, provided by Virginia Regional Transport, will operate from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday during an 18-month “demonstration trial,” according to Jenna French, the county’s director of tourism and economic development.

For a $1 one-way fare, passengers can travel via bus from Strasburg in the north end of the county to New Market on the south end (and vice versa), or get on and off at various stops between those two towns. Children 12 and under can ride free of charge.

I hope this takes off. It would be better if these were electric buses, but it's a good start!
