The Gainesville City Council unanimously approved Tuesday taking over the Red Rabbit fixed-route bus service starting July 1, while expressing disappointment with Hall County commissioners for putting it in that position. The bus service is part of Hall Area Transit, a program of the jointly funded Gainesville-Hall County Community Service Center. Commissioners voted last month not to seek about $400,000 in federal funding for the service, putting it in jeopardy.
