CITY LINK
To better serve you, FIT, in conjunction with The City of Garden City and the Kansas Department of
Transportation, is pleased to announce the expansion of the City Link fixed route public transportation
system effective January 21, 2008 with the addition of a fourth bus which will enable us to run the Orange and
Blue County Routes every hour on the hour instead of every other hour. Designed with the community in mind,
City Link offers an affordable, reliable and convenient form of public transportation providing citizens of any age
access to the entire city as well as a number of specified county destinations. Drivers can provide limited
wheelchair lift assistance only to passengers utilizing City Link. Brochures containing route maps, stop times and
general information that is helpful to passengers are available throughout the community. We encourage
passengers to arrive at the designated bus stops 10 minutes early to ensure you do not miss the bus.
