MEDFORD — Buses are scheduled to begin running Monday on a new line that will run from Klamath Falls to the southern Oregon Coast.

The new bus system, organized by the Oregon Department of Transportation, is called the Southwest POINT, short for Public Oregon Intercity Transit. It replaces the Klamath Shuttle between Klamath Falls and Medford.

The Southwest Point will operate seven days a week, and stop in the Klamath Falls, Brookings, Crescent City, Smith River, Cave Junction, Grants Pass, Gold Hill, Medford and White City areas.

Rates range from $13 to $50 for a one-way ticket for adults.

ODOT spokeswoman Shelly Snow says the POINT is being funded by a grant from the Federal Transit Administration with matching funds from Greyhound and passenger fees.
