The Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority announced last week its new Magic City Connector fleet of buses. BJCTA says the fleet will connect downtown with Southside and should make public transportation along the 20th St. corridor a lot smoother. The project is part of a partnership between BJCTA and Coca-Cola. Here to talk about this and other news is Nick Patterson, editor of the weekly newspaper Weld.
