Today we hit the road on Bus 508, journeying from downtown Greenville to Taylors and back. We chat with Greenlink riders from diverse backgrounds who all share one thing: their reliance on public transit. Listen to the compelling stories of Ashley, an essential worker who navigates the bus system to fulfill her pharmacy technician duties, and Amber, an eight-month-pregnant waitress, whose complex and costly commuting challenges highlight the need for enhanced transit infrastructure. We also introduce you to a downtown dweller who sees the value in public transport and Angela, who shares her experience visiting her mother in Simpsonville via bus. This episode reveals the essential role of public transportation in our community and the transformative potential of increased investment in transit services. Tune in to understand the reality of transit users, their struggles, suggestions, and how improved public transportation can benefit everyone in Greenville. Don't miss our next week's journey to meet more everyday voices who rely on public transit. Hit play now to join the ride!
