When: Saturday, March 20th, 11:10 am – 12:13 pm. The bus will leave at 11:20, so get there early to park if you’re driving down, ask questions, and get your $1.25 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 inside the waiting area building.
After: Lunch! Walk, drive, or ride a bike or bus to a downtown restaurant.
Route 9 will be a new route for me. I have used it for short trips to the medical district from downtown, but never beyond 10th St. This path looks to be mostly residential, but also covers Mount Vernon Rd. It is very similar to Route 2, but operates in the opposite direction. This provides several options for riders along these two routes. Come explore Route 9 with us!
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.
