THE Bus

THE Bus History

THE Bus is a cooperative effort of the Hernando County Board of County Commissioners, Metropolitan Planning Organization, City of Brooksville, Florida Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration and Mid Florida Community Services, Inc. (which services part of the Hernando County area (Brooksville/Spring Hill and some out-lying areas)). We help people of Hernando County become more self-sufficient in order to achieve their full potential.

The Brooksville Shuttle stops at the local WalMartOn October 28, 2002, the Spring Hill routes started serving the greater Spring Hill area; and one week later, November 4, 2002, the Brooksville route started serving the Brooksville area while connecting Brooksville to Spring Hill. We started with 4 buses in Spring Hill and 1 bus in Brooksville which shuttled riders between Brooksville and Spring Hill.

Ridership numbers were over what was projected. In our 1st year, the average riders per day was 215 (1st year projection was 128 per day). By the 7th day of the first month of operation, we surpassed our 3rd year projection of 200 riders per day with 219 riders. After 22 months of operation, we were averaging from 425 to 434 riders per day. We reached our highest rider per day on December 9th, 2004 (as of January 31, 2005) with 625 riders.

Expansion—May 3, 2004
On May 3, we added the Brooksville Shuttle Bus—Green Route, along with the Pasco-Hernando Community College—North Campus stop. We extended our travel time, from 6:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., and we extended the Spring Hill routes from YMCA to Spring Hill Regional, In addition to our additions, we decreased the Brooksville/Spring Hill shuttle travel time from 90 minutes to 60 minutes.
