January 27, 2015 - Bismarck, N.D. – Joe Kraft has been promoted and has assumed full-time duties as the Customer Service Representative for Jefferson Lines at the Bismarck Bus Depot.
Kraft had been working at the depot as a part-time Jefferson Lines CSR and custodian. He began working for the organization in 2003.
“With the years of experience he brings, Joe is a natural fit for the position,” said Transit Director Robin Werre. “He knows all the ins and outs of the position, as well as the systems used, and he can basically just hit the ground running.”With Kraft taking over the full-time position the hours for the bus depot will expand. The depot will now be open for ticket purchases from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day, and will also be open on Saturday and Sunday from 8-9 a.m. and 3-4 p.m.
A Bismarck native, Kraft has lived in the Capitol City all his life, except for the four years he spent with the U.S. Marine Corps. His hobbies include collecting Green Bay Packers memorabilia and working in his yard.
The Bismarck Bus Depot provides tickets for two Jefferson Lines buses leaving from Bismarck each day. The eastbound bus to Fargo leaves the depot at 8:25 a.m. while the bus traveling to Billings, Mont., with stops in Minot and Williston, leaves at 3:45 p.m. each day.
