BRACK: Transit approval could mean more buses, routes and frequency soon
By Elliott Brack | If more transit options are approved in Gwinnett on March 19, what you will see soon in Gwinnett will be more buses, more routes and more frequency of bus service. All will be a major improvement in public transit in the county.
We talked with Karen Winger, head of the Transit Division of the Gwinnett Department of Transportation, to understand these expanded local bus routes.
BRACK: Gwinnett, Metro Atlanta, finally moving toward key transit vote
APRIL 20, 2018 | Finally, at long last, people throughout the area seem to be realizing that something must be done about the number one problem in Metro Atlanta: public transit.
We see this new concern in Gwinnett County, in Metro Atlanta, and most interestingly, at the Georgia General Assembly. Their action this year seems to open the possibility that significant transit action can start soon.
Gwinnett Forum | May 7, 2024
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
— Attributed to American Poet and Essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882.)
