Lextran
Lextran is the public transportation agency serving Lexington, Kentucky. Prior to 1972, the public transportation system in Lexington was privately owned. By the early 1970's the Lexington Transit Corporation's expenses began to outstrip revenue. In April 1972 the local government incorporated the system under KRS 96A as the Transit Authority of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, commonly known as Lextran, and began operating in December 1973. Lextran serves people and the community with mobility solutions. Lextran’s fleet includes compressed natural gas, battery-electric, hybrid-electric, and diesel vehicles. They operate 25 fixed routes, a door-to-door paratransit service, and a vanpool/ridesharing program. Regular bus fare is $1.00, and there are a variety of reduced fares and pass programs available to individuals who qualify. All buses are equipped with bike racks and are wheelchair accessible.
