as buses return to the center, staff often has
to go out and move their personal vehicles to
accommodate bus parking. Brown says a 15-
acre site has been identified, two miles from
their current location, which is also close in
proximity to the main CNG transmission
line GCT uses for fuel. Some $25 million
in funding has been lined-up to design and
build the facility and Brown says those ef-
forts will not only lead to new jobs, but allow
for operational improvements and further
growth.
While GCT’s anniversary has prompt-
ed celebration, which includes buses being
decked out with images from the last forty
years and passengers sharing testimonies of
their experiences and service interactions
with drivers, Brown says all are equally fo-
cused on the next forty years, and beyond.
Increasing gas costs, along with increasing
demand for convenience and quality service,
will lead to new generations of riders. As this
occurs, Gold Coast Transit will continue to
focus on the safety of its passengers as well as
the safety of the environment in which it op-
erates, while also developing routes and spe-
cial programs that cater to the community,
effectively enabling those of the Gold Coast,
to stay on-the go.
