Federally subsidized bus service from Camden north through 8 more coastal counties for $3.00 per county.

Answers: This may well prove useful to people without cars living in Camden and having doctor's appointments in Brunswick. Too bad it will not run to Jax as well. As to the schedule, there will not be a schedule in the sense that metropolitan buses run a regular route on a regular schedule. There are no set "stops." This bus will, I suspect, actually act more like a taxi. It will take the rider to their specific destination, wait while they are seen at a doctor's office, then return.. Alternately, if carrying multiple passengers, it might go on to deliver the others to their destinations, then pick them all back up later for the return trip. This is simply extending the range of the kind of bus service that has been available out of the Camden PSA for several years now. I used it before I got my van. I wonder if it will involve switching buses on longer trips., or would the same bus go all the way from Camden to Savannah and back? I'll see if I can get more details tomorrow.
