Asheville’s ART Bus Services Set to Resume Regular Hours on October 27, 2024

Asheville Welcomes Back Regular ART Bus Services

Hey Asheville! Grab your bags and get ready because the ART bus services are back on the road! Starting on October 27, 2024, the bus services will resume their regular scheduled hours for most routes, making it easier for you to navigate our beautiful city once again. Let’s dive into what this means for you, our lovely community!

Reintroducing Regular Hours

After a brief hiatus, it’s time to celebrate the return of the bus services that many locals rely on. Most routes are back to their normal schedules, ensuring that you can travel to work, school, or simply explore the incredible spots Asheville has to offer without any hassle. Whether you’re heading to your favorite café, enjoying the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, or visiting the Biltmore Estate, the buses are here to make your outings simple and enjoyable.

Changes in Specific Routes

However, it’s important to note that not all routes are returning exactly as they were. The N2, 170, and WE1 Eastbound routes will resume with some modifications. So, if these routes are part of your daily travel, be sure to check the schedule. Adjusting to these changes will be easy as long as you stay informed.

No More Flag Stops

Another significant update that comes with this service resumption is the change in how you can catch your bus. Buses will no longer be offering flag stop service. This means that residents will need to wait at designated bus stops to board. It’s a simple adjustment, really—just look for the marked stops in your area, and you’ll be on your way!

Free Rides for Everyone

And here’s some fantastic news for all public transit users: ART bus service will continue to be free of charge to all community members until further notice! That’s right! You can travel throughout the city without having to worry about spending a dime. This is a brilliant way for the city to support its residents, especially those who rely on public transportation for their daily commutes.

Community Connection

These updates not only help residents get where they need to go, but they also foster a stronger sense of community. Whether you’re riding to a community event, meeting friends for a night out, or simply commuting to work—using the bus service connects you with others in our vibrant Asheville community. And let’s face it, there’s something pretty great about riding alongside fellow locals, sharing a smile and a moment as you travel through our stunning city.

Stay Informed

As always, it’s wise to stay informed about the latest transit news. Keep an eye out for updates from your local transit authority and adjust your travel plans accordingly. Whether you use public transport for convenience, sustainability, or affordability, being in the know makes your journey smoother. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the designated stops and any changes to the modified routes.

Time to Ride!

So, what are you waiting for? Dust off those shoes, grab your backpack, and take advantage of the bus services as they return to full swing! Asheville is waiting, and now with ART buses back in motion, your city adventures are just a stop away. Enjoy the ride, fellow Ashevilleans!

Happy travels!
