Another option to get around Huntsville launches next week after city officials held a ribbon-cutting Thursday for the new downtown Transit Center.

The $14.6 million center includes 14, 45-foot bus bays, a 3,880-square-foot lobby building with a ticket counter and waiting area and design elements intended to funnel rainwater to irrigate the landscaping, according to a city news release. Most of the funding came from a Federal Transit Authority grant, The Huntsville Times reported.

“This state-of-the-art Transit Center is going to be a gamechanger for public transportation in Huntsville and a quality-of-life enhancement,” Mayor Tommy Battle said. “Our transit system is one of Huntsville’s hidden gems and we encourage everyone to take a ride and experience the ease of moving about the city.”
