Kingsport Area Transit Service

Operating Monday - Friday | 7:30am to 5:30pm

Notice of Service Change

Until further notice:

KATS buses will be closed daily from 12:30 – 1:30pm
for additional cleaning precautions.

New Bus Stop Signage

KATS customers, and the traveling public, will begin to notice new bus stop signs. The new design will feature the updated blue and green cat logo which also mimics the shapes of green mountains and blue streams, representative of the area’s natural beauty. The sign shape will remain the same familiar circle but will be larger by two inches, and the vast majority of them, once installed, will be double-sided, meaning passengers will be able to identify bus stop locations much easier from either direction of travel.
