Starting September 21, 2025, Columbia, South Carolina’s public transit system, The COMET, will implement system-wide schedule changes aimed at improving service efficiency across several fixed routes. Specific routes affected by these changes include Route 21, Route 45, Route 101, Route 301, and Route 801.
Additionally, there are plans underway to build a larger, modern transit hub in Columbia to facilitate easier connections between routes for riders, though this development may come slightly later.
These updates reflect ongoing efforts to enhance the city’s public transportation network as part of broader state and local transportation planning initiatives.
