TEXAS CITY — The city’s first fixed-route bus service is scheduled to roll Oct. 20, and it’ll only cost $1 to ride. Texas City commissioners had a first look during their Wednesday meeting at the proposed route on Ninth Avenue between Sixth Street and Mall of the Mainland. Mayor Matthew T. Doyle said there will be 15-20 stops at businesses such as Mainland Medical Center, the Veterans Administration clinic, the mall and also at city hall. The fee to ride one of the two, 19-seat, wheelchair-equipped buses will be $1 for adults and 50 cents for seniors, the disabled and children, Doyle said.
