How can I plan my trip in advance?
Plan your trip using our trip planner on the home page. Just type in your starting point and destination. Our system will give you a couple of options for your trip, the fare, and the approximate length of the trip.
If you prefer to map the information out for yourself, you can find all kinds of schedules and maps under our routes section. You can also receive a schedule brochure on board any of our buses.
Another way to plan a trip is by calling our customer service line at (843) 665-2227, Ext. 2. If you are new to transit please inform our dispatchers and they'll make sure you are prepared with all the details you'll need.
