Riders Experience McMinnville’s New Public Transportation Buses

MCMINNVILLE, TENN- The Upper Cumberland Human Resource Agency kicked off its new public transportation service in Warren County by offering free rides in McMinnville on the Go Upper Cumberland buses during Senior Day at the Warren County Fair.

Participants were able to ride the new city buses without charge to experience how easy it is to ride and to see the different pick up and drop off locations, which includes Walmart, Three Star Mall, and Beersheeba Towers and more.

UCHRA’s two Go Upper Cumberland buses are now running in McMinnville on established bus routes six days a week. Route times are Monday through Thursday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The cost to ride is $1 per trip, with half price fares for disabled residents and seniors over age 60. Frequent riders can purchase a one-day pass for unlimited rides for $3 or a monthly pass for $25 that includes 30 rides.

Individuals interested in riding can be picked up at any of the established route pickup locations or individuals can request to be picked up off the route by arranging the pickup with UCHRA at the toll-free number (833) 828-7477 one hour in advance.

Go Upper Cumberland also offers transportation services for people with disabilities. Drivers can make accommodations by contacting UCHRA Mobility Director at customerservice@uchra.comor (833)-828-7477.
