Hello folks!
I'm 19 years old (going to be 20 in August) and I have not found the time to actually get me a car or go to the DMV since I've been so busy with college work.
Sometimes I use SPARTA to get off campus at SCC and going home will take nearly 4 times as long as I'm going through two buses. Plus, the nearest bus stop is a mile away from my house since I live on the outskirts of Spartanburg (near Broome High School). Walking gets pretty tiring when it's hot outside, too. Transfers and passes are cheap there, though. Sadly however, that doesn't seem to generate enough revenue for the city to warrant better transportation.
I thought about taking a Dial-A-Ride bus to get to certain areas not served by SPARTA (Boiling Springs, Duncan, Gaffney, etc.), and had several questions regarding that. Have you people used those Spartanburg County Transportation Service buses before? Like, what would be the exact cost of going to Duncan? Do you have to call for a ride a day in advance, and do you pay immediately when you get on the bus? Thought about maybe hitting Shipwreck Cove on my own whim.
