ECAT Now Requiring Face Masks, Regular Fares Return In January
December 21, 2020
Face masks are now required on all Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT) buses, and regular fares will return next month.
Free face masks have been provided to ECAT riders since June 1 and will continue to be available. Face masks are required on ECAT busses as of Monday, December 21. If a passenger meets one of the Florida Department of Health requirements that prevents mask wearing, the passenger can notify the bus operator. Social distancing will still be encouraged on all ECAT vehicles.
Regular fares have been suspended since March 23 but will be reinstated on Monday, January 25.

It would probably be cheaper to pay cab fare for the number of people that ride the bus instead of having the fuel guzzling buses which we pay 4 cent a gallon for at the pump to run around all day half empty. The expense of having ECAT doesn”t justify the number of buses due to low ridership. The reason,my opinion, they dont want you to see inside the bus when it”s going down the road is so you can”t see how few riders they have.
County Commissioners, abolish ECAT!
