Right now aTa Bus riders in Junction City need to call to make an appointment to ride the public transportation buses.

But county commissioner Florence Whitebread said recently they hope to have fixed bus routes in place in Junction City by February 1st. “There will be at least a minimum of three and possibly four fixed routes here in Junction City. And with those routes they just go to a bus stop and get on a bus. They don’t have to call 24-hours in advance. They can get on the bus and ride.”

Whitebread said the fixed routes will cover almost 80% of Junction City. “And people can go to shopping. They can go to visit or wherever they need to go as long as it makes connection with these routes.”

aTa Bus also serves Manhattan, Ogden, and Wamego.
