Residents of Coatesville will see a small but important update to their local public transportation this spring, as ChescoBus rolls out an improved fare system for Coatesville LINK and SCCOOT services. While nothing is changing about the routes or reliability riders depend on, the updated system introduces a more convenient way to pay. Riders can now use the ChescoBus Pass on their smartphone for quicker boarding and easier ride management, while those who prefer to pay with cash can still do so using exact fare.
To support the transition, the Transportation Management Association of Chester County is hosting pop-up events throughout the community where staff will help riders get set up, explain how the updated fare system works, and answer questions about using the service. Residents can call 610-993-0911 to find or request a pop-up location.
An upcoming reminder for riders: during Coatesville First Friday on Friday, May 1, between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., traffic congestion and possible delays are expected along the Coatesville LINK route due to increased downtown activity.
Regular in-person assistance is available in Coatesville at the Coatesville Library on the first Wednesday of each month from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and the third Tuesday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., as well as at the Coatesville YMCA on the first Thursday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and the fourth Monday, with times varying. Additional pop-up locations are also scheduled throughout Chester County.
Managed by TMACC and funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation along with support from the Chester County Commissioners and local partners, ChescoBus continues to provide dependable service across the region. This latest update is aimed at making everyday travel just a bit easier and more flexible for Coatesville riders.
