Ridership for Appalcart continues to increase. For the month of August, there was a 15 percent increase compared to last year during the same month.

According to Appalcart Director, Chris Turner, adding the second bus on the orange route this year made the biggest difference.

Appalcart's Paratransit service also found an increase in ridership. It rose to almost one-thousand trips for August. This service is for people whose disabilities prevent them from riding the bus service.
