WeDriveU and our rebranded National Express Transit team celebrated Bis-Man Transit’s 20th anniversary in May for the CAT fixed route public bus service we proudly operate between Bismarck and Mandan, ND. The versatile and adaptable services also include paratransit door-to-door service for seniors and riders with any type of certifiable disability.

Here’s one of our favorite photos the team.

We’re proud of our seven-year partnership supporting Bis-Man Transit’s vision to “provide safe, reliable, and efficient public transportation to support the overall quality of life in our communities.”

Celebrating Drivers, Passengers and Partnership

Special thanks to Bis-Man’s Executive Director Deidre Hughes for treating WeDriveU’s bus drivers and local Operations team to a delicious breakfast celebration. They were thrilled to support four free days of service for bus riders and paratransit passengers in the capital region as part of the celebration.

Bis-Man’s announcement said, “Since the service began, the CAT bus has provided nearly 2 million (1,860,000) trips,” adding that “riders utilize CAT for a variety of reasons, including work, school, volunteering, shopping, and socializing.”

In that announcement, Ms. Hughes added, “As we celebrate twenty years of the CAT bus system, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the riders, drivers, advocates, and other supporters of the service. We look forward to twenty more years of connecting neighborhoods and creating more accessible communities.”
