, Crossmax Purple is the first in what will be a series of Crossmax routes designed to move riders across the city faster and without having to transfer buses at the Depot .
City leaders , elected officials , transit advocates and staff gathered Monday , March 4 , to celebrate the service , which began Sunday .
The new route combines and replaces stops from the previous GTA Routes 1 and 10 with buses arriving up to every 15 minutes , speedier than the current 30 - minute frequency . It takes riders from the residential and educational areas in east Greensboro to the retail and entertainment areas in west Greensboro faster than ever before . The fare remains the same as other GTA fixed routes .
Rides on Crossmax Purple will be free March 4 to March 11 to celebrate the launch . For more route information , visit
