https://www.buymeacoffee.com/AudreyBK_____________________________________________The Snellville Microtransit program, which was piloted by Gwinnett County in 2019, will begin in August and is designed to offer an alternative to ride-share services to and from locations in the city. And a new bus route will be added next month which will take riders from the parking lot at the corner of Wisteria Drive and Highway 78 to the Indian Creek MARTA Station.
To address the lack of connectivity within the Gwinnett County, Ride Gwinnett has expanded microtransit services in Snellville and Lawrenceville. By calling 770-822-5010 or using the MyStop app, those interested in traveling to a destination in the area of Snellville can request a pick up. Rides are $3.
On-demand microtransit is a flexible curb-to-curb shared-ride demand-response mode of passenger transportation, according to Gwinnett transportation officials. Riders request a vehicle — typically a small van or shuttle — Route 70through a mobile application or by calling a dispatcher to pick them up and drop them off at a location within a designated microtransit zone. The zones will have connections to fixed route service.
Route 70, which will allow riders to access all MARTA services, is slated to begin operating late next month, possibly early June.
The new proposed fixed route service will have the same fare cost as the existing fixed route service — $2.50 per trip.
