HUB CITY TRANSIT MASTER PLAN

The Hub City Transit Master Plan will serve as a roadmap for improving public transit in the Hattiesburg Urbanized area over the next five to 10 years. This includes Hattiesburg, Petal and surrounding portions of Forrest and Lamar counties.

The plan will take a comprehensive look at local needs and recommend both short- and long-range strategies to increase ridership and improve the rider experience. To learn more, check out plan details and a list of frequently asked questions – visit, hubcitytransit.com/masterplan.

FIXED ROUTE SERVICE

Our Fixed Route Service is available to the public for a minimal fare and can be accessed at any HCT bus stop. Fixed Route passengers may also request reasonable accommodations within the safety guidelines of our services. Requests may be made through the contact form at the bottom of the page, or by calling our office. Hub City Transit’s Fixed Route Maps and Schedules are listed below.

In July of 2018, Hub City Transit experienced a few upgrades in an effort to better serve you. They include:

• All routes are named by color.
• Added two new routes (Gold & Green), increasing the total to 7.
• Added several transfer stations (where multiple routes come together), increasing the total to 15, to make it easier for you to travel across the city at more points of connectivity.
• All original routes were modified to expand the service area (see below for map gallery)

PARA-TRANSIT SERVICE

Hub City Transit provides para-transit services Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., for qualified individuals with mobility impairments who are unable to use the system’s Fixed Route Service. This service is a demand-responsive, advance reservation, address-to-address and door to door service. Eligible passengers are not required to live within Hattiesburg City limits of the service area.
