Bluefield Area Transit serves Mercer and McDowell counties with routes into Bluefield, Princeton, Athens, Welch, Gary and Iaeger.

To ensure that you catch the bus, allow at least 5 minutes before the scheduled arrival time. Be sure to flag the bus down or the driver will not realize you want a ride.

Bluefield Area Transit, a division of the City of Bluefield, WV, connects with Bluefield VA’s Graham Transit, as well as Four County Transit to better serve the citizens of our community.

You can tell where the bus is going by the sign on the front of the bus above the windshield and on the right side. The sign tells what the final destination of the bus is (i.e., Cumberland Road, Rt. 52, Princeton, etc.) It will tell you the major areas being served, or final destination of the route. As the bus approaches, step closer to the curb and wave to let the driver know you want to get on. If you’re not sure it’s the right bus, ask the driver.

About a block before your stop, let the bus driver know you want to get off by pulling the cord. When you get off the bus, check to make sure you have all your belongings. For your safety, step away from the bus and wait until the bus pulls away before crossing the street, so you can see traffic clearly.

Bluefield Area Transit provides route deviation service that extends up to 3/4 mile in each direction of the bus route. To schedule a ride or for more information, call (304) 327-8418 at least one day in advance. Service is available for everyone; additional fee required.
