Real Voices, Real Rides: The Realities of Greenville's Public Transit Bussin' - The Greenville Transit Podcast
-
- Society & Culture
Today we chat with Sandy, Equan, and Eddie - everyday people whose lives are interwoven with the pulse of public transit. We explore their experiences, from the conveniences of being steps away from a bus stop, to the need for more frequent routes and the dream of a 24-hour transit system.
Tune in to hear how Sandy makes her way home with heavy groceries, how Equan desires the convenience of closer bus stops, and why Eddie, a seasoned sous chef, yearns for transit access seven days a week. We discuss how neighborhood designs can influence transit effectiveness and share news about a potential transportation hub at the airport. Plus, we look at the bigger picture - how expanding transit isn't just about transportation, it's about improving quality of life for riders and their communities.
Join us next week as we continue to bring you more conversations from the road. But before then, we need your help to drive change in public transit. Hop on over to our website, GreenvilleConnects.org, to sign up for our monthly newsletter and find out how you can contribute. Together, we can get more buses, going more places, more often. Let's get moving!
