AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Augusta Transit recently upgraded two stops as part of a citywide upgrade plan for bus stops.
Bus stop #1640 is at Regency Boulevard Transit Office (Route #6 Brown Line/Gordon Highway Outbound).
Riders waiting were uncovered and faced direct sunlight, according to bus officials.
Augusta Transit worked with a local vendor to create a screen awning. Officials say the screen reduces the glare from the sun while maintaining an unobstructed view.
