Getting Around: Transportation
As of 2023, Evansville does not have a regular bus service that follows a set schedule. However, Ozark Regional Transit offers a "demand-response" service. This means you can call them and arrange for a ride when you need one, rather than waiting at a bus stop. If you need to travel to other cities by bus, the closest place to catch an intercity bus (like a long-distance coach) is in Van Buren, which is served by Jefferson Lines.
