BATA's Route 13 includes stops at Hall St., King's Court, the LaFranier Transfer Station and Park'n'Ride, Oleson's East, and Kingsley!

Thank you to the kind folks at our Route 2 bus stop at Barlow and Centre who consistently shovel snow for other riders. We notice you, as well as homeowners who shovel the stop at Glenview, the homeowners on the west side of Union St, St Francis Church, and many more. YOU make a difference to our riders who have mobility challenges when it snows. THANK YOU!
