"The city council for Wilson, N.C., is considering a proposed transit system that would make it quicker for residents to use the system to get to work, school or elsewhere in Wilson.

The proposed system, provided by Via, would allow riders to request a ride from a smart phone app or by phone, walk to a nearby virtual bus stop to board a multi-passenger vehicle and be driven to their destination.

The city council says the system would improve the flexibility and convenience of using public transportation in Wilson. Estimates say riders’ time could be cut in half or more."
