The City of Liberal has recently implemented a public transit program for its residents, consisting of two wheelchair accessible buses running fixed routes and one van utilized for door-to-door on-demand paratransit service. Services began Monday, September 17th, just 12 working days before the 1000th passenger was transported.
�??We are so happy and excited to bring this service to Liberal�?� said Jeff Young, Transit Supervisor.
The service is the first of its kind for a city exceeding 20,000 residents located in Southwest Kansas.
�??City Bus has been well-received by the riders and much appreciated,�?�?Young added. �??We have increased ridership from a total of 30 passengers the first day of operations to an average of 83 daily after a small period of time.�?�
