Someday, Shanna Willis would like to own a car and get to places on her schedule and not that of the public transit system in Gainesville. “I have to leave my house at 7:30 in the morning to get to my job at 9,” Willis said, as she waited for a bus to take her home from the Gainesville Connection terminal on Main Street. Hopping on a bus in the morning to get to work, and again in the afternoon to get home, has been a routine for Willis the past nine years. During that stretch of time, she has worked as a cook preparing meals for Brenau University students. Willis said getting a car is on her wish list, but it’s not a priority. She said the needs of her three children — one attending Gainesville High School, another at Gainesville Middle School and the youngest child at Fair Street School — take precedence.
