On most weekdays, Johnny Wilson arrives at Hall County Transit at 5:45 a.m., before the sun has even risen, to check the fluid levels, tire pressure and light functions of his bus in preparation for his 8-hour shift. Wilson is a driver for Red Rabbit, a Gainesville public bus service that operates throughout the city and in parts of Oakwood. He covers route 5A, one of the system’s highest performing routes that travels Jesse Jewell Parkway, around Lakeshore Mall, past the Interactive College of Technology on Browns Bridge Road and to Memorial Park Drive.
