Summary
Gastonia is ditching its old-school fixed bus routes for an on-demand microtransit service starting in July 2024. This means you'll be able to hail a city ride much like Uber or Lyft, completely changing how you navigate the town.

Impact analysis
While exact budget figures aren't highlighted yet, swapping empty buses for flexible vans usually helps cities cut down on wasted operational costs.
Commuters and residents who live outside traditional bus lines will finally get direct, flexible rides tailored to their schedules.
Daily riders who relied on predictable, scheduled bus stops might face a learning curve or longer wait times with the new app-based system.
