GoBus to launch service in Dayton, Yellow Springs, Springfield, Middletown
An intercity bus operator plans to launch new routes that will connect Dayton, Yellow Springs, Springfield and Middletown to some of Ohioâs big and small cities.
⢠About GoBus: The transportation company has stops in 39 towns and cities, and last year the bus operator served more than 129,000 riders. GoBus uses 56-seat motor coaches that are equipped with wifi, a restroom and electric outlets at every seat.
⢠New routes: GoBus has announced that it will create four new bus routes, including one that goes from Toledo to Cincinnati, with stops in Urbana, Springfield, Yellow Springs, Dayton, Middletown and Oxford. Riders on that route also will be able to travel directly to Bowling Green, Findlay, Lima, Kenton and Bellefontaine.
⢠Other destinations: Passengers also will be able to transfer buses to get to plenty of other places like Columbus, Cleveland, Sandusky, Athens, Wheeling, West Virginia, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
⢠What state leaders are saying: âWe believe this will be a step in knocking down any barriers for transportation for people who donât have access to a vehicle,â said Matt Bruning, press secretary for the Ohio Department of Transportation.
