News Summary

The Lexington Transit Center has officially closed for extensive renovations, expected to last around eight months. The $2.4 million project aims to modernize facilities for approximately 1,000 daily commuters. Bus services will shift to temporary locations, with limited amenities during construction. Lextran will manage customer services from its administrative office, and regular updates will be provided to keep passengers informed throughout the renovation process.

Lexington – The Lexington Transit Center, a key hub for local transportation, officially closed for a major renovation on April 7, 2025, with construction expected to last approximately eight months. This extensive project aims to modernize and enhance facilities for the 1,000 daily users of the center, which is located downtown on Vine Street.

As part of the renovation process, all bus operations will be relocated to temporary facilities behind the Transit Center on High Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard starting April 10, 2025. During this period, passengers will experience some limitations due to the construction. There will be no public restrooms, indoor waiting areas, or water fountains available at the temporary site. Seating and shelter options will also be significantly reduced.

In an effort to accommodate transit users during these changes, Lextran has made arrangements for bus passes to be available at their administrative offices at 200 W Loudon Ave. Passengers can also pay their fare with cash directly on the bus, although they will not be able to purchase passes at the Transit Center during the renovation. The regular bus fare remains set at $1.

The renovation project is estimated to cost $2.4 million and is noteworthy as it marks the first major update to the Transit Center since its opening 34 years ago. Planned improvements include updates to restrooms, the employee break room, and the customer service space. Additionally, Lextran plans to incorporate space for future retail options, providing snacks and drinks for bus riders.

While construction is underway, Lextran is moving customer service functions, such as phone support and lost and found inquiries, to the Loudon Administrative Office. This office will continue to operate with regular hours: Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

To ensure riders remain updated on the progress of the renovations, Lextran is committed to providing regular updates on their website and social media platforms. These communications will reflect the ongoing changes and any additional disruptions that may arise during this important modernization effort.

Beyond the Transit Center renovations, Lextran is also working on upgrading its fleet, introducing enhancements such as new onboard display screens. Improvements to the myStop Mobile app are scheduled to continue through Summer 2025 as part of an initiative to enhance the overall rider experience.

The comprehensive renovations and fleet updates demonstrate Lextran’s commitment to creating a more modern, efficient, and welcoming environment for all transit users in Lexington. With these advancements, Lextran hopes to better serve its community’s transportation needs for years to come.
