NDOT is on a roll with taking on the initiatives outlined in Blueprint to increase the connectivity of Nebraska cities. I am not really familiar with the relationship of these three cities, but it seems like the intercity bus route would be very beneficial to this area. It shouldn't cost much and they anticipate sustainable demand as they estimate Buffalo County's population to grow 21% in the next few decades (the gross amount isn't much, about 10,000, but the growth helps justify creating the bus route).

I wondered where this project had been. I decided to look into it a little. It seems it’s still in process.

Last update:

February 2021 – The Mobility Management team published the final report in June 2020. The report outlined the Preferred Alternative chosen by the communities based on information pulled by the team. The Alternative consists of flexible, fixed-route service operating between Grand Island, Hastings, and Kearney with flexible routes traveling within each community. It will reach landmarks and services identified by the community as important and essential. With the report published, the Mobility Management team’s next step is to strategize implementation processes.
