Asheville’s Downtown Master Plan calls for increasing the city’s transit fleet from 21 to 46 buses and having buses run every fifteen minutes on main corridors. For now, staff is working on capturing the low-hanging fruit of the planners’ recommendations. They are rebranding the transit system. It will change its name from the Asheville Transit System to Asheville Redefines Transit (ART). New logos will be designed, buses will be repainted in the new swanky blue and green motif, and route cards will be redone.
