Why Rent a Bus in Jonesboro?

If you’re looking for ways to get around in Jonesboro with a group, here are a few of your options:

  • The Jonesboro Economical Transportation System (JETS): JETS operates a fixed-route public bus system throughout the city of Jonesboro, and a one-way fare is $1.50. The buses currently operate 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. It is closed on Sundays. These limited hours, along with each bus only being able to accommodate 25 passengers, make it not as flexible of a solution as other transportation options for groups. 
  • Taxis and rideshares: Jonesboro offers both traditional taxis and Uber and Lyft. Rideshares offer more flexible hours and customized routes compared to public transportation, as you choose when and where you want to go. However, larger groups of six people or more will have to split up rideshares, leading to staggered arrival and departure times, and dealing with unpredictable factors like limited availability and surge fees during busy times. 
  • Jonesboro charter bus rentals: Due to limited public transportation options and the obstacles that rideshares present, renting a charter bus in Jonesboro is the safest bet. With a charter bus rental, you can get custom amenities that other transportation options don’t offer like WiFi and an onboard restroom, along with flexible scheduling that allows for transportation that works around your schedule, instead of the other way around. Shofur offers a vast network of bus rentals in Jonesboro for any kind of event and occasion, from church and religious bus rentals to government and military bus rentals.
