GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) – Gas and grocery prices may be sky-high these days, but the Greensboro Transit Agency is offering up a little relief to citizens with fare-free rides to celebrate the transit system’s 35th anniversary on Wednesday.
The Greensboro Transit Authority helped the city begin a new era of public transportation when it introduced 16 bus routes serving the greater Greensboro area on Oct. 7, 1991.
