KATS offering Half Price Dial-A-Ride Ticket Books

The Kingsport Area Transit Service is continuing an annual tradition by offering half-price Dial-A-Ride ticket books for $12.00 (which includes 24 tickets per book) from November 18 through November 29.

The KATS Dial-A-Ride van service is for individuals who reside within the city limits, have a medical condition, are 65 or older, or are going to work. This service is an affordable, reliable, safe and efficient way for Kingsport residents to travel to numerous destinations within the city.

“We’re happy to continue this annual promotion to the residents of Kingsport, both for our long-time riders and folks who have never tried this service before,” said Transit Director Chris Campbell.

Tickets may be purchased at the KATS downtown terminal (900 E. Main Street) via cash, check, credit or debit. Tickets may also be purchased directly from the drivers.

Cash and checks are the only form of payment accepted on vehicles. Check payments will be accepted through November 29 and can be mailed to KATS at 900 E. Main Street, Kingsport, TN 37660.

Drivers do not carry cash and cannot make change. Dial-A-Ride tickets do not expire and cannot be used on buses. For more information about KATS’ services, call 423-224-2613 or visit www.kingsporttransit.org.
