Located at the corner of South Sixth Street and Altamont Avenue (in front of Exchange Park and next to
the Klamath County Fairgrounds), the Southside Passenger Transfer Station is the latest addition to the
amenities provided by Basin Transit Service for it's customers and employees. Although seating is
provided for the waiting passenger, the primary function of this facility is to offer a convenient
location for the Main Line bus routes, traveling both North and South, to meet with the Feeder Route
4/6, serving Moyina Heights, Wal Mart, and the South Suburbs, and allow the changing of bus routes for
passengers to smoothly complete their bus trip. A small room is also provided for employees as a break
room.
This facility was built for $118,000 with the assistance of an Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT)
capital grant which paid 76% of the costs. The facility is also located on ODOT property as a part of the
South Sixth Street public right-of-way.
