ART adjusts bus routes C & N effective Nov. 1

Here’s the press release form the city of Asheville:

ASHEVILLE – The City of Asheville’s ART (Asheville Redefines Transit) system will make permanent route adjustments to Route N and Route C beginning Nov. 1st. These changes, which result in additional stops, are being made as part of the City’s commitment to continuous improvement and come in part from suggestions from senior riders and riders with disabilities as to how we can improve access to these routes. ART will continue to improve our routes to better meet the needs of the public.

New schedules can be obtained at www.ridetheart.com or at the ART Station on Coxe Ave.
