I am very excited for this route ride because Route 8 is where I got my start riding the buses in Cedar Rapids! In a lot of ways it is similar to Route 3 in the consistent riders and route layout. We will be exploring the northwest and southwest sides of Cedar Rapids along B Ave, Johnson Ave, and turning around in the Stoney Point development. Highlights along this route include the Johnson Ave. Hy-Vee, Taft Middle School, Hoover Elementary School, and El Super Burrito (an excellent restaurant you should try).
Parking is available 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 contact information.
