DART BUS SERVICE TO EXTEND HOURS
Click here to view the new DART bus times. The award winning DART bus service has been in operation for a little over a year and Pee Dee Regional Transportation Authority (PDRTA) is extending hours and adding new automated fareboxes on the buses. According to Executive Director Janice Baroody, "We feel these changes will make the DART more customer friendly and are a direct response to requests from Darlington residents." Extending the service by one hour will make it easier for employees to get to and from work using the bus system. Beginning Monday, October 3, 2011 DART will operate hourly between the hours of 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Additionally, customers will no longer need to have exact change to ride the bus. With the installation of the automated fareboxes a change card will be issued and can be used on future boardings. The one-way cash fare is $1.00; senior citizens age 65 and older, persons with disability and Medicare card holders ride for half-price, or $.50. Children between the ages of 2 and 10 also ride for $.50 and children under 2 years ride free. In the very near future, DART customers will also be able to purchase multi-ride passes at discounted prices. If you would like to ride you can catch the bus from one of the designated stops or just stand at a safe location along the route, wave at the driver and the bus will stop to pick you up. Route maps and schedules are available on line at www.pdrta.org. Another great feature of the new service is that DART customers can also transfer to a new commuter route serving Hartsville, Darlington, Florence and Florence Darlington Tech. The commuter service operates Monday through Friday between the hours of 6:00 a.m. - 6:25 p.m. with eight connecting times to both the HART and Darlington transit system buses. Florence Darlington Tech students can transfer to the commuter bus to reach FDTC where the Florence Transit Route 2 bus will provide connections to other Florence routes. For more information about the new bus services please call PDRTA at 843-665-2227 or visit their web site at www.pdrta.org. * This is a printer friendly version of the original page, made to save you ink and paper.
