WATA Buses to Run Until 9:00 p.m. Year Round – Summer 2014

Routes affected: Red, Blue, Purple 1, Purple 2, Orange, Grey, Tan, and Surry 

Effective Summer 2014 the Williamsburg Area Transit Authority (WATA) will no longer provide an extended hour during peak season. Buses will stop running at 9 p.m. year-round.

Over the past year WATA increased off-peak service by one hour from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. In prior years WATA ran peak hours during the summer months until 10:00 p.m. Given low ridership levels during that last hour of service WATA will not be extending that hour during summer months beginning June 2014. This change will provide consistent service throughout the year. This is one of many steps WATA is taking to best meet the needs of our customers and remain efficient.

Routes that will be affected by this change are Red, Blue, Purple 1, Purple 2, Orange, Grey, Tan, and Surry. The last bus from Surry will depart the Ferry at 7:00 p.m. for the Transportation Center. The Williamsburg Trolley hours will not change.

Williamsburg Area Transit Authority (WATA) provides safe, reliable, efficient and accessible public transit to residents and visitors in James City County, Williamsburg, and the Bruton District of York County.
