Wyoming Transit Service, based in Warsaw, NY, with the bus fleet garaged at the Wyoming County Highway Department in
Rock Glen,NY, began operations on December 4,1994. Fleet of buses at the time was a mix of Thomas minibuses and International
4900 series buses, of slightly larger capacity. Three routes cover Wyoming County,NY plus dial a ride operations
in the Villages of Perry,Warsaw,Arcade. Each route operates in a loop and is color coded. WYTS refers to each
as the Green,Purple or Blue Route. All routes connect at Warsaw,NY, which is Wyoming County's county seat. Buses make connections
in Wal-Mart plaza usually around noon. Here are the lists of communities served by each WYTS route:
1.Green Route

2.Purple Route

In addition to these loop routes, WYTS also operates dial a bus services in Perry,Arcade, Warsaw, usually
between 9 am and 1 pm on weekdays and a commuter route from Perry to Warsaw. Each route operates 2 clockwise and 2 counterclockwise
trips each weekday. One way fare between any two points in Wyoming County is $2.00 for adults, though with the cost of diesel
fuel, that could be adjusted.More recently, several 30 seat buses have been added to the WYTS fleet and the
sister fleet in nextdoor Livingston County. The company headquarters has been moved from the County Highway Department
to a location on West Buffalo Street in downtown Warsaw, just several doors from Main Street. When intercity
through line bus service disappeared from much of Wyoming County and other rural areas, such local operators
as Wyoming Transit Service have stepped in to help fill in some of the service gaps. WYTS also operates shuttle
services for some events as needed as well. Current fleet consists of approximately a dozen buses, some International
4900s and the rest Chance 30 seaters.
