The Macon Transit Authority is in the middle of a year full of unusually broad and deep changes, but it’s still too early to tell if the agency can win back riders.

Some new buses, as well as new uniforms and paint schemes, have been on the streets for a few months. The authority fixed looming financial problems. And later this month, a new air-conditioned terminal will open. After that may come nearly two replacement fleets of buses, service to Robins Air Force Base and satellite tracking of the transit buses.

General Manager Rick Jones said the agency is still working to stabilize service, though ridership has at least remained flat. For the first six months of 2010, the authority said 360,922 riders used the city bus service.
