Athens Transit is a public bus system in Athens, Georgia, United States. The system was started in 1976, and today 20 routes operate throughout the city. The whole system is fare free. [4] Most bus routes have the buses stop at a given location once per hour during operating hours.
The only numbered routes to travel through downtown Athens are US 78 Bus., SR 10, and SR 15 Alt. Inner/outer directions are used to sign the loop. Between exits 4 and 8, there is an eight-route concurrency , consisting of US 29, US 78, US 129, US 441, SR 8, SR 10 Loop, SR 15, and the unsigned SR 422.
All fixed routes are fare-free and open to anyone including students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The service is funded primarily by a transportation fee paid by students each semester. Unlike the transit systems found in many college towns, Campus Transit is separate from the Athens Transit system serving Athens-Clarke County.
SR 10 Bus. is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility. [4] SR 10 Bus. was designated in 1966 when US 78/SR 10 were rerouted north of the main part of town. The former route became the Business route. [29] [30] The entire route is in Walton County.
With the creation of trunk routes most of the bus routes were relocated in suburbs. For example, routes "538 Kanigos-Kifissia and "508 Kanigos-Agios Stefanos" used to have a common start at Kanigos Square and then followed Kifissias Avenue until Kifissia, where 538 was turning in Kifissia whilst 508 continued further north to Agios Stefanos.
