RIDES Mass Transit Intro

We don't often cover new conferences but thought this would be a good way to introduce you to the RIDES Mass Transit district.

This past year they began offering bus services along the Highway 13 corridor and the operation has a huge potential to enhance our region by connecting it.

The RIDES Mass Transit district originally started serving Pope and Hardin counties. Over time, they have expanded and now provide bus service 14 counties. "RIDES" is a totally unique transit system offering a variety of routes and door to door service.

They even run a water taxi but they never have forgotten their roots, which is helping people in rural areas to get around. It's service you should know about.
