Quincy Transit Lines

Quincy Transit Lines is the primary provider of mass transportation in Adams County, Illinois with four routes serving the region.

Between 1890 and 1893, the mule cars were replaced by electric streetcars and in 1912 the system came under the ownership of Illinois Traction Company.

As automobile subsidies increased in the latter half of the twentieth century, the transit system lost ridership and came under public ownership in 1974.

In addition, the agency received a $2.5 million grant to rehabilitate the old transit facility at 1900 Seminary Road.
