  • YORK COUNTY TIDBITS Congratulations are in order for Rabbit Transit (York County Transportation Authority) for finally joining the modern era in their recent purchase of electronic fareboxes. Over the past 5 years, Rabbit Transit has dramatically increased service on many of it's routes within York City, nearly doubling available service on Sundays from only 3 lines to 7 lines, and expanded service from York City to outlying parts of York County such as Shrewsbury and Hanover. The service between York City and Hanover connects the two lines operating in Hanover and Downtown York, service which wasn't in place back in 1998. On the fare collection front, Rabbit Transit joins other mid-size systems in the state such as Cambria County Transit in Johnstown and CityBus in Williamsport, as well as DART First State, in using new electronic fare cards. Not bad for a system that is about a small fraction of SEPTA's bus system alone...
