Mother Nature may have tried to crash our company picnic, but she definitely didn’t stop our staff from showing up! We had a great turnout and an even better time getting everyone together. ❤️

With our new bus facility currently under construction, our buses (and some of our employees!) are spread out between two locations. So, we decided it was time to bring everyone together for a little fun, food, and friendly competition.

The kids kept busy at the bounce house and bubble station 🫧, while the adults battled it out in co****le and bingo — all in the name of winning some pretty awesome prizes! 🏆😄

Was it a little rainy? Yep.
Was it a little chilly? Absolutely.
Did that stop us? Not a chance! 💪

At the end of the day, it wasn’t really about the weather, the games, or even the prizes. It was about taking a break, spending time together, and celebrating the people who keep our company — and our buses — moving every day.

We’re grateful for our employees and their families for coming out and making it a memorable day. ❤️

Here’s to our growing team, our new facility, and hopefully a few more sunny picnics in the future! ☀️🚌

If you've been to River Bend Transit lately, you've probably noticed we're not just building a new bus storage facility... we're apparently filming the sequel to Construction Chaos: The Never-Ending Project.

We've had 24 hours with no water, an actual waterfall in the parking lot! While it was surprisingly beautiful, we're pretty sure that wasn't part of the construction plans, and
enough orange cones to start their own community. Every day seems to come with a new plot twist!

Through all the craziness, one thing has never changed—our incredible drivers and staff continue to show up with patience, flexibility, and a great sense of humor. They've navigated changing traffic patterns, parking shuffles, construction noise, unexpected obstacles, and enough surprises to last a lifetime.

We are beyond impressed with their positive attitudes and willingness to adapt, even when the inconvenience is real. Thank you for ROLLING with the punches.

The temporary chaos will be worth it when our new bus storage facility is complete. Until then, we'll keep embracing the adventure, enjoying our unexpected water features, and looking forward to the day we can say, "Remember when...?"

The gas pump has taken enough of our money this year. On June 18, we are celebrating Dump the Pump Day, which is the Olympics of not driving your car.
So, instead of battling traffic on Brady, dodging construction cones on Kimberly … hop on River Bend Transit and let someone else do the driving.
Why you should join in:
Save cash — Your wallet deserves a spa day.
Help the planet — Mother Nature says thanks, bestie.
Skip the stress — No more yelling “THAT WAS MY TURN LANE” at strangers.

Support QC transit — Because buses are basically giant community carpools with better seating.
Ride to work. Ride to the Figgie. Ride to meet a friend for lunch. Ride, just to see where the bus goes.

We would like to invite our extended family of Muscatine, Clinton, Cedar, and Scott rural residents to join River Bend Transit in the effort against high gas prices, traffic, and that one gas pump that always asks if you want a receipt like it's judging your life choices.

Let's make Iowa proud. Let's make your wallet proud. Your future self has already high-fived you.
Ride smarter, save money, and help build a stronger community—one trip at a time. 🚍🌽
