Stops at Geisinger reduced during summer construction

Effective Thursday, May 12, 2022 the Tri Town Connector Bus will only stop at the Geisinger Medical Center in Muncy on the outbound trips. Due to time contraints related to the Muncy bridge construction project, our bus will not stop on the inbound trips until further notice. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Upons completion of the bridge project we expect to return to regular schedule. Trips to Geisinger began in February, 2022 as a trial to consider permanent fixed bus service to the new hospital facility. Please contact River Valley Transit at 570-326-2500 or use our contact page to send questions.

The highlighted section below represents the only stops we will be making at the Geisinger Medical Center in Muncy.
