History
The downtown transfer center and transit offices opened February 11, 2013, and coincided with a change of routes and fares.[3] The Pink Line began service in November 2016.[4] In 2021, GO bg Transit was added to Moovit and Token Transit, allowing for mobile fare payments.[5] A merger between GO bg Transit and Western Kentucky University's Topper Transit has been discussed for a number of years.[6] In 2023, Community Action of Southern Kentucky was replaced by RATP Dev USA as the operator of the service, with Western Kentucky University co-purchasing the service, bringing GO bg Transit and Topper Transit under the same operator.[7]
