aTa Bus is sending out surveys to learn more about what Geary County residents want in the way of fixed route public bus service.

Florence Whitebread, Geary County Commissioner, noted there is a believe that fixed bus routes would cover about 65-percent of the people in Junction City. “Which is really good coverage with four routes. So they would add four buses, which they’ve already ordered the buses.”

Whitebread is hopeful the fixed route service can begin by the end of this year, or early in 2016.
