Fixed route service is what most people think of when they envision transit: a bus that travels along the same route at regular times each day and has regular bus stops along the route. PDRTA operates fixed route bus service in the greater city of Florence area via the Florence Transit System. Whether a person's destination is work, medical appointment, hospital visit, education, shopping, or recreation, the Florence Transit System is an economical means to access the many amenities of the city.

PDRTA also offers fixed route commuter service into Florence from Dillon, Marion, Hartsville, and Darlington. These commuter services give people in other communities the opportunity to get to work and school in Florence. These buses connect with the Florence Transit system, making over 100 destinations easily accessible, year-round, 7 days per week.

PDRTA buses leave Marion several times each day to transport hundreds of workers to the Grand Strand. This is deviated fixed route service, which means that PDRTA adapts its routes to accommodate the large number of workers on these buses by dropping them off and picking them up at or close to an ever-changing variety of workplaces.

In 2008, PDRTA introduced fixed route transportation connecting Chesterfield and Marlboro counties, with service between Chesterfield, Cheraw, and Bennettsville. In cooperation with Northeastern Technical College, faculty and students ride free on these routes.

In Lake City, daily commuter transportation to Myrtle Beach continues to be a huge success.

Plans are underway to offer fixed route service from Lake City and Timmonsville to Florence, connecting with the Florence Transit System, and to offer fixed route service within the cities of Darlington, Hartsville, and Timmonsville.
