History
editPublic transit in Henderson began with horsecars in 1886, with the Henderson Street Railway Co. In 1895, the horsecars were replaced with streetcars, which in turn were replaced by buses in 1929.[2] The city took over operations in 1957. In January 2021, bus service was reduced due to staffing issues, service did not fully resume until December of that year.[3][4]
