Chesco announces new bus schedule.
ChescoBus has three bus routes throughout Chester County
ChescoBus has begun new service schedules for all three of its bus routes — SCCOOT, Coatesville Link and Evening Link.
ChescoBus is managed by the Transportation Management Association of Chester County, a nonprofit located in Malvern promoting alternative transportation options throughout Chester County.
These changes to the bus schedules are the result of an operations audit conducted by the Pennsylva- nia Department of Transportation and a service efficiency review by TMACC.
The PennDOT audit concluded that it must continue to be fiscally responsible and manage ChescoBus serviceswithin directly available state funding. These audits provided the opportunity to review the routes and services tomaximize efficiencies and eliminate redundancies in the Link and Evening Link bus lines, and better align the bus schedules to the Septa 104 bus line and the Krapf “A” line.
ChescoBus has three routes throughout Chester County: SCCOOT, which travels fromOxford to Kennett Square, with limited service to West Chester; Coatesville Link, which travels from Coatesville to Parkesburg; and Evening Link, which operates evenings from Coatesville to Exton Square Mall.
ChescoBus representatives noted that its state funding is provided by PennDOT and the majority of the local match from the Chester County Commissioners as well as municipal support.
