The familiar ChescoBus will again be seen on Saturdays, starting this week.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Transportation Management Association of Chester County (TMACC) announced today that CHESCOBUS, Chester County\u2019s Public transportation system, will restore Saturday service on SCCOOT and Coatesville LINK bus routes starting Saturday, Oct. 10.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited to make this announcement.\u201d\u00a0 said Executive Director of TMACC, P. Timothy Phelps.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Early July of this year, TMACC had to eliminate Saturday service because of a reduction in match grant funding.\u00a0 \u201cIt was a hard announcement to make.\u201d TMACC\u2019s Transportation and Operations Planner, John Meisel said, \u201cPeople are reliant on public transportation to get to work, school, medical appointments-taking away their service was a major disappointment for us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Last month at a ceremony in Coatesville, the Chester County Commissioners announced the investment of over $130,000 for CHESCOBUS, which made it possible for TMACC to restore Saturday service.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is woven into the daily lives of those who depend on the bus.\u00a0 We couldn\u2019t let a significant amount of match funding from the State slip away.\u201d Commissioner Michelle Kichline said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTMACC appreciates the ongoing support from the Chester County Commissioners.\u00a0 We are looking forward to continuing this partnership in future years to bring reliable service to the residents of Chester County\u201d stated Phelps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday service will be available on both SCCOOT and Coatesville LINK bus routes beginning Saturday, October 10, 2015.\u00a0 Thanks to the help of SEPTA\u2019s planning department, TMACC was able to increase efficiency of the buses and add bus runs to Saturday.\u00a0 To view the new Saturday service, please visit www.chescobus.com<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CHESCOBUS is a service managed by TMACC comprised of two bus lines-SCCOOT and Coatesville LINK.\u00a0 Coatesville LINK operates Monday through Saturday from Coatesville to Parkesburg and SCCOOT operates Monday through Saturday from Oxford to Kennett Square with limited stops to West Chester.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
