Augusta is a driving city, but plenty of residents get around by bus, bike, and the occasional rideshare. If you're going car-free or car-light, here's how to make it work.
Know your bus system
Augusta Transit operates the city's fixed-route buses, connecting neighborhoods with downtown, the Medical District, shopping corridors, and more. Routes and schedules change from time to time, so always check the latest information on the City of Augusta's transit pages before you plan a regular trip.
Plan trips like a pro
- Use an online trip planner or map app with transit directions to see routes and timing.
- Note the last bus of the day on your route — evening and Sunday service can be limited.
- Carry exact fare or check what payment options are accepted.
Pick an apartment that makes it easy
When you tour, ask how far the nearest stop is and which routes serve it. Then walk it yourself. At The Palms at Augusta, bus stops are within walking distance of the community.
Fill the gaps
For trips the bus doesn't cover well, a rideshare or a ride from a coworker can fill the gap. Living close to where you work — like the Medical District, minutes from The Palms — reduces how often you need one.
