WeGo enters into new contract for regional bus service, expanding services

Posted

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A new contract will allow WeGo to improve its regional bus service operations in areas outside of the Nashville metro area.

The routes themselves aren't expected to change, but they are expected to get better.

The new contract is with Anchor Transportation and their approach is supposed to enhance service reliability, improve rider confidence, and ultimately support increased ridership across the network.

The new contract goes into effect July 1, 2025.

The Regional Transportation Authority of Middle Tennessee approved it. They will work closely with the outgoing provider Gray Line and incoming provider Anchor Transportation to make sure the transition is seamless.

This includes Route 87 Gallatin; Route 88 Dickson; Route 89 Springfield; Route 94 Clarksville; and Route 95 Spring Hill.

The new provider, Anchor, has more than 35 years of experience, including 12 years operating similar contracts with the state of Tennessee.

Eight brand new Corvettes were stolen from GM's Bowling Green plant. How good neighbors spoiled the heist

The line ''see something, say something" took on new meaning recently in Bowling Green. Two alert neighbors helped tip police to stolen Corvettes from the nearby assembly plant. That led law enforcement to find 8 stolen Corvettes worth over $1 million. We may all be able to learn a little lesson from this.
