Brunswick Transit System (BTS) provides vital hourly fixed-route transit connecting seniors, residents, and shoppers across ten key community hubs.
SHALLOTTE, NC — Accessing essential shopping, medical appointments, and community services in Shallotte has become notably easier for local residents, particularly seniors and individuals with mobility needs. Operating Monday through Friday, the Shally Shuttle—administered by the Brunswick Transit System (BTS)—provides a reliable, entirely free transportation lifeline across ten strategic locations throughout the municipality.
Designed specifically to bridge mobility gaps, the public transit initiative ensures that community members without personal vehicles or those seeking an alternative to driving can navigate commercial centers and municipal facilities safely and efficiently.
