Intercity Service

Shawnee MTD provides regularly scheduled trips from various locations within our district to Carbondale and Cape Girardeau, offering access to shopping, employment, and connections to other transportation services, specifically for routes originating from Cairo, Illinois.

Please note that we can only transport riders to a designated drop-off location in both Carbondale and Cape Girardeau. Once at this drop-off point, it is the rider’s responsibility to coordinate with Jackson County Mass Transit District and Cape Transit Authority for further transportation within those areas. Shawnee MTD will not provide drop-offs at other locations in these cities, as they are outside our service area.

We have coordinated with Jackson County Transit and Cape Girardeau Transit to ensure minimal wait times for transfers at the designated drop-off points. To help make travel more affordable, Jackson County Transit accepts the Shawnee MTD monthly pass for transportation within Jackson County. Cape Girardeau also offers a free fixed-route service.

Please remember that our inter-city routes require a 24-hour reservation. Review the list of transportation providers below, and feel free to contact us for more information on how we can best serve your transportation needs.
