**Montgomery Area Transit System** is the operator of [mass transportation](/source/Mass_transportation) in metropolitan [Montgomery, Alabama](/source/Montgomery,_Alabama). The organization was founded in 1974, after years of tumultuous relations between private bus operators and passengers. In 2013, the system underwent a rebranding to *The M*.[3] Currently, the system is operated under contract by [Transdev](/source/Transdev).

## Intermodal Center

The Intermodal Center serves as the primary transfer hub for *The M* and provides connections to [Greyhound Lines](/source/Greyhound_Lines) intercity buses. The $6 million project opened September 10, 2007.[4] While Greyhound had once been located at the [Freedom Rides Museum](/source/Freedom_Rides_Museum), intercity buses used a 1951 facility at 950 W. South Ave. from 1995 until April 15, 2019, when Greyhound relocated once again downtown to the Intermodal Center.[5]
