For a number of years, Community Transit has only provided demand-response service outside of Marshall. Tracy, for instance, has been provided with demand-response service since 2014. [2] However, in the late 2010s, fixed-route service has expanded to other communities in the service area. The Green Route in Redwood Falls began operating in July 2017 and was expanded with additional stops in December 2018. [3] On June 24, 2019, the Purple Route was also added, with buses operating between Tracy, Balaton, and Marshall. [4]
Service
Community Transit operates four weekday deviated fixed-route bus routes. Two routes serve Marshall, one route serves Redwood Falls, and one regional route connects Tracy, Balaton, and Marshall. [5] Hours of operation for the fixed-route system are Monday through Friday from 7:00 A.M. to 6:53 P.M. in Marshall and from 8:00 A.M. to 4:55 P.M. in Redwood Falls. [6] Weekend service is provided from 10:00 A.M. to 6:53 P.M. in Marshall, while there is no service on weekends for the fixed-route services in Redwood Falls. [7] The Purple Route operates twice daily on weekdays. Regular fares are $1.00 for the local routes and $3.00 for the Purple Route. [8]
