Midland Public Transit is pleased to announce that, effective November 1, 2026, we will be assuming operation of Hall County Rural Transit services.

We want to assure all current riders that this transition is designed to be seamless. Clients can expect the same reliable transportation service, the same service area, and the same operating hours you currently receive.

For now, you may continue to use the same phone number to make your reservations. There will be no immediate change to the reservation phone number.

In the next few months, we will transition to Midland Public Transit’s dispatch number:
1-888-997-1655

We will provide additional information and notice before the phone number changes so you will know when to begin using the new number.

Our goal is to continue providing safe, dependable, and customer-focused transportation services for residents of rural Hall County. We appreciate your support and look forward to serving you. If you have any questions about this transition, please contact us at 1-888-997-1655.
