GO BG Transit offers free bus rides for tornado victims
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – If the tornadoes took away your transportation, GO BG Transit wants to help.
GO BG Transit is now offering free bus rides to residents affected by this month’s tornadoes.
They’re providing rides to and from the disaster recovery center at the old Sears location in Greenwood Mall.
They’ll also help out by taking you to medical appointments or other necessary in-town travel.
While the bus rides will be closed Friday for the New Year holiday, services are available other days from 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Riders who need transportation should first try to use the existing fixed routes and stops. Passes for fixed routes are available at the disaster recovery center but not required if a rider is unable to get a bus pass. For a map of fixed routes and stops go here https://www.bgky.org/
Residents who live or are staying in an area that is not near an existing fixed stop or need transportation directly can call 270-782-3163 to schedule a ride.
The transit service appreciates riders who call well in advance, preferably 24 hours in advance of when they need to travel. Each leg of the trip should be scheduled separately.
Riders can expect some suggested alternative times and wait times to meet the demand. Riders must take any belongings with them when exiting the vehicle. Vehicles are not allowed to wait for individuals to return to the vehicle.
Riders are required to wear masks.
