Did you know October is Try Transit Month in Greenville? Greenlink will be celebrating all month with various events to introduce Greenlink + its services to the greater community.

Name the Bus Contest | Greenlink wants riders to help name the busses. You can submit your name ideas by Sept. 26. A selection committee will choose 12 names to display on the digital destination signs on the buses operating on Oct.1. Winners will receive free 31-Day Unlimited Ride Passes. Past winning names include Big Green Transit Machine + Gary Busy.

Fare Free Day | Free bus rides all day long on Oct. 8.
