The Flex Bus travels on a loop around the City of Circleville and is offered at no cost to the public. What makes it special?  If you are within the bounds of the Flex Bus map, you can ask for a deviation and the Flex Bus will pick you up or drop you off somewhere other than a bus stop. 

For example: you can get on at Walmart and be dropped off at your home within the boundaries of the Flex Bus Map.  

Or, you can be picked up at a doctor’s office and get off at the bus stop at Kroger.  

There are only two rules to using the deviation service:  

• First, you must either start or stop your trip at a bus stop. We can’t both pick you up and drop you off at a deviation spot.  

• Second, the deviation stop must be within the boundaries of the Flex Bus map.   

To get off at a deviation spot, just tell the bus driver when you board. To schedule a pickup at a deviation spot, call the PICCA Transit office at 740-477-1655 on the day you want to travel.   

The Flex Bus is open to the public for anyone to ride. The bus is handicap accessible. 

The Flex Bus makes a loop around the City of Circleville. It runs 8 AM – 5 PM, Monday – Friday. Stops include Walmart, Kroger, OhioHealth Berger Hospital, Twin Oaks Apartments and many more.

The Flex Bus is free!

You don’t need a reservation, just check the schedule and get on where you like. The Flex Bus offers deviation stops. If it’s within the boundaries of the Flex Bus map, you can get on – or off – anywhere you want. Just note that your trip has to either start or end at a bus stop.

Your safety is our first priority. Transit services may be closed or offer reduced schedules and adjusted routes due to snow or ice. There are three types of service schedule changes during bad weather:  

• LIMITED Service: This means there will be some delays in service, and routes may be modified. Under LIMITED Service, the Flex Bus will only stop at Berger Hospital, Kroger, Walmart, Hope House, JFS and the library. Medical trips, life-sustaining dialysis trips and scheduled employment trips will be provided.  

• SEVERE Service: If road conditions allow, we will provide essential medical trips, life-sustaining dialysis trips, and scheduled employment trips. No deviation stops are available. The Flex Bus will only offer service at the following stops: Berger Hospital, Kroger, Walmart, Hope House, JFS and the library. You must get on and off at these stops. 

• NO Service: All routes, appointment and employment trips are cancelled due to hazardous road conditions when it is a NO Service day.   

How can I find out if my travel is impacted by inclement weather? 

• The PICCA team will phone riders with scheduled appointments to discuss the status of their scheduled trip. 

• Notices will be posted on Picca’s website and Facebook page.  

Winter Weather Tips:  

1. Buses may run late. Please anticipate that it may take longer to reach your destination.  

2. The buses may slide when coming to a stop. When you see the bus, step back and wait until the bus comes to a complete stop before approaching the door.  

3. Dress appropriately.
