Based on residents’ comments and preferences, the City has developed a Draft Bus Network. It provides frequent bus coverage to popular destinations and new coverage in other areas, and presents a transformative vision that answers the question: “What if Greensboro greatly increased its investment in bus transit service?”

Project History

The City has set an ambitious goal to provide a variety of transportation options so that you have a choice to get around without driving a car. GoBORO will be the City's long-range plan to reach this goal by defining a new vision for publish transit by 2045. 

Can Greensboro be “car-optional” by 2045?

To reach this goal, bus transit must become more useful for Greensboro residents, workers, and visitors. That will take more investment in transit to expand bus service in more areas and make it easier to use.

How should we invest in new bus service?

Well, it depends on our community goals!

To imagine what this looks like, we’ve drawn two different bus concepts that would make transit more useful in Greensboro. Both of these concepts require a larger budget, but they both work well in different ways. Click on the concept links below for a peek at what they look like! 

• The Ridership Concept
  The goal with this concept is to be useful to most people, in other words, to get more people riding buses. With this concept, buses would run on routes with higher frequencies (shorter wait times) in areas where there are the most people and popular destinations.
   
• The Coverage Concept
  The goal with this concept is to provide at least some service to as many as people as possible in Greensboro. This concept would provide service on a lot of routes, but we can’t afford to run the services very often. These routes would also have a lower frequency, meaning loner wait times, making transit less useful to most people.

These concepts are not final proposals. The final GoBORO Plan will be designed after community input. Your opinion will help us understand how to design the final plan based on what is important to the community.
