The transit covers all communities in Worth
County, as well as, Lake Mills
and Mason City.
Other destinations can be arranged through linkage with other transit providers
within the region. The Public Health Office will schedule the linkage for
the client on request. The bus is available for any trip reason and all
age groups. Infants and small children need to supply their own car seat
to be secured. We request that we know 24 hours in advance of your
transportation need. We have buses that go into Mason City about 3 times a day. We
attempt to arrive in Mason City
around 8 a.m.; 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
Appointments scheduled to coincide with
these time frames will reduce the wait time for the rider. Worth County Transit
does accept the free Silver Advantage tickets and the Cancer tickets from Mercy Hospital.
Please inquire from your physician if you need assistance with paying for your
rides. There is no income guidelines to get
these tickets. You may also purchase tickets prior to riding the
