During the late 2000s, rabbittransit has benefited from high gas prices and has seen an increase in ridership.[2] Ridership in particular has risen on express routes, including the one operating between York and Harrisburg.[3]
On June 6, 2011, rabbittransit (in cooperation with the Adams County Transit Authority) began operating commuter service between Gettysburg and Harrisburg with a total of four round-trips daily. The route is designated "15N".[5]
On July 1, 2016, rabbittransit (in cooperation with Union/Snyder County Commissioners) merged with Union/Snyder Transportation Alliance (USTA)
Renamingedit
rabbittransit was formerly known as York County Transit Authority. The name was changed in 2000 in order to improve the agency's image.[6] The name is a play of "rapid transit", coincidentally echoing the same play-on-words that formed the basis of the cartoon, Rabbit Transit.
Merger with Capital Area Transitedit
On December 22, 2020, it was announced that rabbittransit would merge with Capital Area Transit (CAT), which offers service in Dauphin and Cumberland counties, to form the Susquehanna Regional Transportation Authority.[7] The merger was proposed in order for better service and to prevent CAT service cuts.[8] The merged system will use the rabbittransit name. The CAT branding continues to be used on CAT buses, with a sticker underneath the CAT logo saying "a service of rabbittransit."[9]
