Profile of System

Bossier Parish Public Transit began in 1978. The transit system is a reflection of the community’s concern for providing much needed rural transportation to customers with little or no other means of transportation.

The system is designed to provide accessible public transportation for all income levels, ages and populations. Bossier Parish Public Transit is working hard to meet the needs of the community.

"Let Bossier Parish Transit be your wheels. We get you where you want to go."
