Wiregrass Transit expanding to Dale County

DOTHAN, Ala. (WTVY) - Wiregrass Transit is normally seen around Dothan and Houston County. Now, they’re taking their services into Dale County.

The expansion is a pilot program, depending on the response, Wiregrass Transit could make the expansion permeant.

Right now, the bus is running on Fridays between 8 AM and 4 PM on an appointment-only basis.

“Well Dale County is just a little bit closer to us because our headquarters are right here in Dothan,” says Executive Director Scott Farmer. “So it’s a pretty easy trip to go up Hwy 231 into Dale County. It’s only about 20 miles from here to Ozark. So it’s just kind of a good way to expand the territory, and it was something that Dale County commission was interested in looking at.”

The price per trips starts at $5 and go up to $8. They ask for you to have the exact change ready when you go to board the bus.

To schedule your pick up you must call 334-836-5555.
