The Bluffton Senior Center is coordinating RTA bus trips designed to help people get familiar with riding the RTA bus that now comes to Bluffton. It is also a nice little trip out of town for those with cabin fever. We ride the regular bus route so please note that the bus does not wait on anyone. Everyone needs to be at the stop before the bus arrives. The RTA bus does not give change so bring $1 bills to pay for your fare. Sign-up sheets are in the trip book.
