History
Public transit in Sheridan began with streetcars by 1910, with the Sheridan Railway Co. However, streetcar service only lasted until 1924.[2] In October 2019, Goose Creek Transit began providing Sheridan with fixed-route service, in addition to the senior transportation previously offered.[3] While fixed route services were temporarily suspended in early 2020, they resumed on June 1.[4] The bus route began with an initial 28 stops and one bus, but has since grown to 38 stops and four buses.[5]
