General Information

The B.G. Transit is Bowling Green's public transportation system and it is open for use by everyone!

Many people think B.G. Transit is a "taxi", but it isn't. It is a demand-response public transit system that operates more like a bus service whose route is determined by scheduled rides. Because we are considered demand response we will do the best that we can to accommodate "last minute" reservations. If, however, you don't schedule your trip at least one hour in advance, you will be able to ride on a space-available basis only.

B.G. Transit is one of only a few public transportation systems in the State of Ohio, funded through grant money, which does not require 24-hour advanced reservations.

B.G. Transit services are funded in part by the City of Bowling Green, The Federal Transit Administration 5311 Program, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), and Community Development Block Grant dollars.   Since our system is grant funded, we must follow service mandates established by the FTA and ODOT.
