ChescoBus December Service Updates

As we enter the holiday season, the City of Coatesville and ChescoBus would like to extend a warm welcome to all riders—especially those using newly purchased bus passes this month. Thank you for choosing public transit as your safe, reliable way to travel.

While you’re out shopping or visiting family, please remember that ChescoBus has a package limit of six (6). Before boarding or exiting the bus, take a quick moment to ensure you have all of your belongings. A little awareness goes a long way during this busy time of year.

 

Why Public Transportation Is a Safer Choice

According to the American Public Transportation Association, riding public transit is not only convenient—it’s significantly safer than driving:

  • Traveling by public transportation is 10 times safer per mile than traveling by automobile.
  • Riders can reduce their chances of being involved in an accident by over 90% simply by choosing public transit over driving.
  • This season, consider leaving the car behind and enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a safer, stress-free ride.
