[edit]Get around
[edit]Morgantown is a relatively small town, so getting around should not be much of a problem. Car is the most popular mean of transportation in Morgantown. However, in 2018, MoGoShuttle, a free public transportation system, began service within city limits, expanding to include bicycle rentals in 2019.

Connect
[edit]By phone
[edit]Most telephone numbers in Morgantown, and in the rest of Butler County, consist of +1 270 plus a seven-digit number, but the area is now served by an overlay complex of two area codes, with +1 364 being the second. A local or in-state telephone call now requires all 10 digits of the local number be dialed (omitting just the leading +1 from a local landline call).
Signage on many established businesses may still display the original seven-digit numbers; dial 270 before these if no area code is indicated.
