Ride the Bus



Ride the Wave and Surf with us


Ride the Bus and leave the driving to us. Or in our town they say ride the Wave and Surf with us. The bus companies name is called the Wave. If I chose to take the bus I would have to walk four blocks to the nearest bus pickup location from my home and that’s not bad.

Ticket Choices
  1. Daily
  2. Weekly
  3. Monthly
One Ticket is good for all day

Bus tickets can be purchased on the bus daily, weekly or by the month. Monthly tickets are the cheapest. If you purchase a month and then decide to take another form of transportation the Wave will redeem your unused tickets.

Buses accommodate Bike Riders

The Buses have special racks attached to the front of the bus and bikes can be easily put on and taken off and there is no extra charge for hauling the bike.

Buses will accommodate Wheel Chair Riders

Wheel chair users whether manual or motor driven enter the bus via a special bus entrance and then use the bus like other people. No special prearrangements are required.

Down Town Buses

Downtown buses are one hundred percent free to riders. This bus service is geared to make the users town experience a special one, that will encourage riders to return and visit the town on a regular basis. Buses will drive you to any location in the Downtown even to parking garages so you can easily pick up your car or they will pick you up from the garage location.

If you can’t get to a regular bus pick up location you can pre arrange a pick up elsewhere.

The bus system like all facilities in this country are by Federal Law required to make reasonable accommodations to persons with disabilities. So if the bus system can it will pick you up some where else that is easier for the bus rider to get to.

Inter campus busing is free to students, on receipt of Student Identification Card

Recently my wife and I drove thru our College Campus and boy does it cover a large area of land. We saw numerous students using the bus system making their way from one location to another. The College promoted the bus system so that students could easily go from one class to another without requiring other forms of transportation thus lowering the need for more parking areas.

Buses help keep alot of vehicles off the streets and that’s a big plus for all growing communities. So consider the bus and do your part and help your community flow better.
