GASTONIA, N.C. — A shortage in bus drivers led to changing routes and schedules for the City of Gastonia.
Starting Monday, Nov. 13, all routes (Pink & Blue Line, Brown & Red Line, and Yellow & Green Lines) will run adjusted schedules until further notice:
- The afternoon schedule begins at 1:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. and will run a Saturday schedule through December 4

Dale Denton, Director of Public Works, said they believe this is a short-term adjustment.
“We have applicants in the pipeline ready to work. We are asking for the public’s patience while we work through the temporary schedule,” Denton said.
