Athens Transit
Athens-Clarke County Transit (ACC Transit) is a public bus system in Athens, Georgia, United States. The system was started in 1976, and today18 routes operate throughout the city. The whole system is fare free.[4] Most bus routes have the buses stop at a given location once per hour during operating hours. HistoryAthens Transit and UGA Campus Transit buses were part of an early trial of biodiesel fuel during the 1996 Olympics.[5] Athens Transit was formerly known as "The Bus" but in 2018 it was changed to its current branding as "Athens-Clarke County Transit" as it was one of the few remaining A-CC services that did not refer to "Athens-Clarke" in its name.[6] RoutesAs of August 2025, ACC Transit operates 18 routes.[7] Most routes are designed as loops, with outbound buses on a given route not returning on the same streets. This can prove confusing, but major streets generally have two routes serving them: one outbound, and one inbound. Most routes terminate at the Athens Multi-Modal Transportation Center, which was built in 2006 on a brownfield near the North Oconee River.[8] The Multi-Modal Center was a winner of the 2007 Innovative Design in Engineering and Architecture award from the American Institute of Steel Construction, and it is designed to accommodate a future "Brain Train" to Atlanta.[9] External linksReferences
