GoLine Extended Operating Hours Initial Performance Measures!

NEW GOLINE HOURS 6:00 AM - 9:00 PM Mon - Fri
Visit the GoLine's website

Last month, the GoLine fixed route bus system and Community Coach on demand paratransit service extended their weekday hours from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Additionally, Route 13 (serving the West Vero Corridor) now runs on Saturdays, resulting in 13 routes operating on Saturdays. Later in the summer, all Saturday routes will run from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.


During the month of May, GoLine ridership rose by 8% in comparison to the previous year. Interestingly, the expanded operating hours of 7:00 to 9:00 PM is growing ridership within the 5:00 to 7:00 PM time period as well. These initial findings show that expanded service promulgates higher levels of use across the system. Further exploration of expanded operating ridership data will be interpolated and shared in the coming months!
