History
[edit | edit source]Public transit in Pittsburg began with streetcars in 1890, with the Pittsburg Railway. Numerous different companies operated transit in the city in the ensuing decades, with streetcar service replaced by buses in 1933.[2]
Service
[edit | edit source]SEK-CAP operates three regular weekday bus routes in Pittsburg. Two of the routes are branded as PACT, while the Gus Bus is primarily intended for students of Pittsburg State University. The two PACT routes operate as one loop around the city. [3]
Hours of operation for the system are Monday through Friday from 7:30 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. There is no service on Saturdays and Sundays.[4] Neither service requires fares, and while students of PSU ride for free, the general public is encouraged to donate.[5][6]
