News Summary
Southeastern Stages, the bus service in West Columbia, is moving from 710 Buckner Road to a new location on Platt Springs Road. This relocation aims to improve accessibility for residents as the bus service operates routes across three states. The agency is preparing for the move expected by May 1, focusing on enhancing the travel experience for both new and returning customers.
West Columbia Set for an Exciting Change in Bus Service
Big news is coming out of West Columbia! Southeastern Stages, the bus service that keeps many commuters connected, is about to pick up and move to a new home. Say goodbye to their old spot on 710 Buckner Road, as they’re packing their bags and relocating to a charming former sandwich shop located on Platt Springs Road. This shift is not just about changing addresses; it’s about making life a little easier for everyone in the area.
Why the Move?
This relocation comes right on the heels of Southeastern Stages wrapping up their lease with Stanley Steemer. The cleaning service has taken over the entire property on Buckner Road in order to set up their new main hub in the Southeast. While it’s always tough to leave a familiar space, Southeastern Stages is excited about the potential of their new location.
The agency supervisor mentioned that the decision to move was all about improving accessibility for residents. In a city where transportation needs vary widely, ensuring that all customers can reach their bus service feels more important now than ever. As they gear up for the move, Southeastern Stages wants to make sure they are situated where customers can easily get to them — definitely not “too far off the beaten path”.
A Hub of Connections
Southeastern Stages isn’t just your average bus service; they operate scheduled routes that stretch across three states: Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. With Columbia serving as their South Carolina hub, travelers can embark on journeys that take them as far as Canada or even Mexico. This extensive connectivity is key for many residents who rely on Southeastern Stages to travel for work, school, or leisure.
With the new location on Platt Springs Road, riders can expect even more convenience. Located within the city limits of West Columbia, the new spot is expected to enhance the travel experience for everyone, making it simpler to catch a bus, whether you’re off on an adventure or just making a quick trip into town.
A Fresh Start
Although Southeastern Stages hasn’t announced an exact moving date, they are hoping to be settled in by May 1. That timeline gives them plenty of time to create an inviting atmosphere at their new digs and prepare for all the loyal customers who will be stopping by.
Residents can look forward to a few changes aimed at making the experience smoother. Southeastern Stages is committed to making this transition as seamless as possible and ensuring that customers notice improvements right from the get-go.
Looking Forward
Community members can eagerly anticipate the fresh opportunities this move will bring. Whether you’re a seasoned passenger or new to the bus service, Southeastern Stages is dedicated to enhancing your travel experience and making every journey enjoyable.
So, stay tuned for more updates as Southeastern Stages prepares for this exciting new chapter in West Columbia. With their focus on accessibility, convenience, and customer service, the journey from West Columbia to destinations beyond is only going to get better. Whether you’re headed to the next city over or off to far-flung places, you’re in for a smoother ride!
