Sandy Valley Transportation Expands Service
KENTUCKY...
Sandy Valley Transportation has expanded its bus service to better serve the people of eastern Kentucky. “We have coordinated an effort to create something out of a need,” Pike County Judge-Executive Wayne T. Rutherford said. “We saved a local service that now provides the only other service a larger bus service would have provided.” Rutherford met with a large bus company in an attempt to lure its services to Pike County, but with the expansion of Sandy Valley’s service Rutherford called off negotiations with Miller Trailways. Sandy Valley Transportation offers trips to cities such as Lexington and Ashland at a cost of 50 cents per mile. Trips fewer than 10 miles are a $5 flat rate one-way or round-trip. SVTS also offers frequent rider rates.
