Transportation

The Winchester Transit system operates on regular routes and schedules throughout the city during the day. Riders are charged the current Fares and this revenue is utilized to offset our operating expenses. Our city routes currently utilize three "cab on chassis" buses that have a capacity of approximately 25 riders. These buses also are equipped with wheelchair lifts for handicapped or mobility impaired individuals. A Paratransit service is offered for those individuals that have a temporary or permanent disability that would not allow them to take advantage of our regular route service. The Paratransit service is a curb to curb service, meaning that we pick the rider up at the curb at one location and will transport them to another location and let them off at the curb. Trolley service is now available several days during the week to take passengers to primarily dining and shopping attractions in Winchester.

Operation days and hours are:

There are designated bus stops located throughout the city for easy identification of our routes. For the safety of our passengers and the traveling public, our drivers are trained to only pick up or let off passengers at designated bus stops. Paratransit service is offered during the same operating hours as the regular bus schedule posted above. We do not operate on the following holidays: New Years Day, Apple Blossom, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. The buses will operate on normal schedule during snow emergencies unless doing so would put the passengers and others in jeopardy because of the adverse conditions. Any alterations to or interruption of our schedule will be posted on WINC 92.5 FM.
