KATS offering Half Price Dial-A-Ride Ticket Books

As in years past, the Kingsport Area Transit Service is offering half-price Dial-A-Ride ticket books for $12.00 (which includes 24 tickets per book) for the entire month of November.

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 want to thank our current Dial-A-Ride customers through this promotion, as well as attract new riders who can benefit greatly from the service,” said Transit Director Chris Campbell. “This is definitely a situation where spending a little money up front will save a lot of money over time.”

Tickets may be purchased at the KATS downtown terminal, located at 900 East 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. Drivers do not carry cash and cannot make change. Dial-A-Ride tickets do not expire and cannot be used on buses.
