BAT Community Connector is a bus system connecting
Bangor, Maine, with outlying towns, including
Veazie,
Orono,
Old Town,
Brewer, and
Hampden. The system is known as The BAT for short.While the BAT is colloquially known as the "Bangor Area Transit", "BAT" in fact does not mean that or anything else officially despite it implying an acronym by being in all capital letters. The managers of the system did not want to identify it with any one city or town. Despite this, "Bangor Area Transit" caught on and many
websites referring to the attractions of
Bangor, Maine and how to get to them often refer to this public transportation system by the incorrect name. The buses, are distinguished by their bright red color, with all but two spare buses decorated with a large stylized
bat on their exteriors.
