Apple Country Public Transit Service Alerts

Henderson County encourages everyone to use the Apple County Public Transit (ACPT) system. However, it is recommended that you check this page before leaving to ensure there is no service outage or route change that may affect your travel plans. Please call the ACPT operators at (828) 698-8571 with any questions.

Where's the Bus Rider App: Apple Country is introducing an app for our riders that will show where the bus in real-time, and how many minutes away it is from your stop. You can use the new app to plan your trips, learn more about the bus system and where our routes go, and see Service Alerts that may impact you. Visit https://applecountry.connexionz.net/rtt/public/ to start using it today! You can also download the app on your phone by searching for "Apple Country Public Transit" on the Apple or Google Play Store. 
 

Fare-free rides are available now! This is an invitation to all Henderson County residents, especially those who lost their primary transportation method due to Hurricane Helene. All routes and paratransit are operating free of charge, and we hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to see if ACPT can meet your transportation needs. 
 

Starting July 24, 2026, Route 1 Stop 4 Pizza Hut/Blue Ridge Mall will be closed due to construction. The next nearest stop is Metro PCS (Route 1, Stop 5). 

Starting August 26, 2025, Route 1, Stop# 32 Laurel Park Shopping Center, will be removed as part of the Route 1 detour to avoid US 64 (Brevard Rd) construction. The detour is expected to last until 2028. Please note that the Ingles (Laurel Park) stop will still be served.
