Route changes will go into effect July 1, 2023, for Route 510: Laurens and Route 602: Woodruff Connector. These changes are being made in an effort to keep the routes running on time and to ensure customers are able to make timed connections with other routes.

CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR DRIVER SHORTAGES - EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 2022
Greenlink needs 37 bus drivers to operate its scheduled weekday service from 5:30 a.m. - 11:30 p.m.
If staffing drops below 29 drivers, Greenlink must reduce service due to staffing shortages. The Contingency Plan outlines the service reductions to be implemented based on the number of bus drivers available.
Reductions in service range from:
- Reducing service frequency on Route 602: Woodruff Connector – which would mean bus service is available at bus stops along Route 602 every 60 minutes instead of bus service being available every 30 minutes
- Using one bus to service two different routes – which would mean that the vehicle and driver will alternate which route is served every other trip, providing bus service to each route every 120 minutes instead of every 60 minutes
- Combining two routes into one new route, traveling outbound on one route and then coming back into the Transit Center along a completely different route – which would mean bus service will only be available every 60 minutes on one side of the road depending on the new route’s design
The new routes created to combine two existing routes are described below:
- Route 550: White Horse / Woodside
- Route 550 will leave the Transit Center and follow along Route 506: Woodside until it reaches Farrs Bridge Road. Instead of returning to the Transit Center along Cedar Lane Road, Route 550 will continue across Farrs Bridge Road and travel the inbound path of Route 502: White Horse. Click here to view a map of Route 550.
- When Route 550 is in service, the following stops will not receive service:
