Greenville is not the town I would choose to use public transportation for my mode of transport.

I don't think anyone would choose to rely on public transportation here if they had another option.

Actually, I believe Mauldin and Simpsonville are about to get mass transit to Greenville. Its on the Greenville News website, so it is improving.

Yes, I've heard that too but I will believe it when there are busses on the road. |

I understand.  They seem very serious about becoming more connected to Greenville though and they should. |

Will they have full routes throughout the other towns, or will they just pick up people from one point and take them to Greenville, like a commuter Park n' Ride? That would be useful, but not what's needed most, IMHO.

I don't think any particular information is out about stops and such for the Golden Strip line though I think they are in a hurry to get it operational.

The most recent article I found on GreenvilleOnline.com says there would have to be a 6-to-8 month feasibility study first. Another said the same but also said service could begin in October 2010. I just can't wait around for that. I didn't pick COBRA over my car so I could be healthy(ish) and stuck in the house twiddling my thumbs. That idea gets the  , LOL!

There are places you can find like one bedroom apartments in Greenville for as low as $350/mo to $500/mo. Compared with the Charlotte metro area (where I currently am but plan on moving back to Greenville where I'm from), I think Greenville has a lot of affordable rentals. The strip of apartment complexes on Pelham road especially has apartments in that lower price range. I used to live at an apartment complex on that road a few years ago and paid $485 for a two bedroom/two bathroom.
