Safe Bus History

Safe Bus was the legitimate child of the illegitimate system of segregation. Because there were no trolley services in the African American section of Winston-Salem when R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company erected its huge plants in 1914, a construction contractor, Mr. E. E. Richardson was forced to convert his Model T Ford automobile into a jitney in order to get his employees to work in time. This jitney was the first mode of flexible public transportation for residents of East Winston.

Affordability

Public transportation saves money and time and is cheaper than the cost and maintenance of a personal vehicle. With rising fuel prices and inflation, the financial impacts of using WSTA’s services benefit us all. Our services take riders to and from their jobs; and creates and provides jobs.
