This Little Bus Went To Market

A new initiative between the Lynchburg Health Department and the Greater Lynchburg Transit Company is underway. The pilot program launches in Lynchburg tomorrow with free bus rides between James River Crossing and the grocery on Florida Avenue, in an effort to make it easier for residents to gain access to healthy, affordable foods. The bus, Route 2, will run every hour from 10 a.m. until noon from Greenfield Drive to Food Lion every Saturday. The service has no set end date, but ridership numbers will be monitored.
