When: Saturday, July 11th 11:10am – 12:08pm. The bus will leave at 11:20, so get there early to park if you’re driving down, ask questions, and get your $1 or bus pass ready.
Who: Everyone. Bring your friends and family of all ages. Children 4 and under are free, check out the transit site for other fare options.
Where: Corner of 12th Ave & 2nd St SE (transit transfer site). It is across from the African American Museum and it is part of the large parking lot, Lot 44. Meet near the Route 4 bus, designated by the sign on the top, front of the bus. You can also stop in the waiting area trailer to see the different route maps.
After: Lunch! Walk, drive, or ride a bike or bus to a downtown restaurant.
This route goes by Mount Mercy College, along 42nd St. by Kennedy High School, out to Aegon and back downtown. I just rode this route for the first time and finally found out where Polk Elementary is and the Tic Toc restaurant. This bus also goes by the Cedar Rapids City Hall “North”.
Several bus party riders had success parking in Lot 44 at the SE corner of 8th Ave SE and 2nd St SE: here.
Disclaimer: Please check out general guidelines for riding the buses. You are responsible for your own actions. Also, I do not work for Cedar Rapids Transit or the city. I will gladly listen to your opinions and complaints, but they will be even more effective if you also share them with the transit department. See their main site for the latest information.
