Popular Routes for Senior Citizen Riders
Many seniors enjoy using BeST Transit’s fixed routes for their shopping trips to major plazas and grocery/discount stores. Most of BeST Transit’s fixed routes stop at these locations.
The BeST Transit fixed routes also stop at nearby YMCAs (Towanda, Route 10, and Mansfield, Route 30). Most recently, BeST added the Lycoming YMCA as an “upon request” stop when BeST’s fixed routes travel to the Lycoming Mall.
