I was quite familiar with Route 10 in 2008 since it was my second route to get to work while my company was in a temporary location. It covers a lot of commercial areas along Edgewood and Westdale Mall. It also serves Jefferson High School, and is generally packed full once school releases. We’ll also ride through residential areas along 1st Ave. NW and around Jefferson.
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.
