Anita Bearden calls for better “CAT” service

Clemson Area Transit rider Anita Bearden of Seneca is a believer in bus passenger service, but she has a few suggestions for city and county officials. Since September, she has been keeping tabs on the service and speaking to other riders about their experiences. Since switching to an all-electric fleet of buses three months ago, Bearden has noticed delays on the routes. And those delays, she says, are costly to riders who headed to work or attempting to make medical appointments. Bearden has noticed differences in the features of the diesel and electric buses which she hopes can be remedied. They include the elimination of stops at two important locations, no package rails for stowage, and no hand rails at the doors. “Moreover, our suggestion is to correct the delays in the Seneca CAT bus service before expanding it to Walhalla and Westminster,” she says.
