Link Transit Expands Service to the City of Mebane

Link Transit, Burlington, NC, has expanded service to the City of Mebane. The Burlington City Council and Mebane City Council approved a new interlocal agreement to bring Link Transit’s Orange Route 2 and its complementary paratransit service to the City of Mebane for a one-year trial period.

With this latest expansion, Link Transit will now serve passengers in Burlington, Gibsonville, the Town of Elon, Elon University, Alamance Community College, Alamance County Government Offices, and Mebane. Complementary Link Transit paratransit service will be available to those with disabilities.

“Since Burlington first launched Link Transit in 2016 in partnership with Gibsonville and Alamance Community College, our goal has been to provide a robust, affordable, accessible public transit service for our community,” said Burlington Mayor Jim Butler. “With new partnerships providing expanded service first to the Town of Elon and now to the City of Mebane, we are making important progress towards that goal.”

Link Transit and Elon University recently entered into a partnership that allows university students, employees, and faculty members to ride Link Transit free by showing their ID card to the bus driver. Elon University will reimburse each passenger trip back to Link Transit at the current fare.

“Link Transit continues to become a better service for those traveling in Burlington, Gibsonville, Elon to/from Alamance County Office Building, and Alamance Community College” said John Andoh, transit manager. “Now with this new service to the City of Mebane, plus a partnership with Elon University for their affiliates to ride free, it is getting more convenient and easier to ride public transportation in the Burlington-Graham urbanized area.”
