The Hawaii County Mass Transit Agency is closing its satellite office at the county building on Aupuni Street on Friday (Nov. 2) and moving its sales office for bus passes and taxi coupons to its main office near the Hilo Transfer Station.

Effective Monday (Nov. 5), the new sales office will be at the recently opened Mass Transit building at 2299 Ho‘olaulima St., where bus passes and taxi coupons can be paid for with cash or personal check. Customers are encouraged to mail order bus passes or taxi coupons, and the agency will mail them to the customer free of charge.

Customers also can purchase bus passes and taxi coupons at the Mo‘oheau Bus Station in downtown Hilo, with cash only.

The closing of the satellite office is a consolidation of operations amid the arrival of new Mass Transit Administrator Brenda Carreira on Thursday.
