There’s some buzz around a bus. It’s in the newspapers. On TV. Even has a new hit single from ages past:
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
round and round, round and round,
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All the way downtown!
You think it sounds childish? Already been done? Alright, but before you skip to the next column, let me back up a minute.
There is a new bus, introduced just two weeks ago. It’s yellow, but also orange, and no, it’s not taking you to kindergarten.
Here are the facts: It’s called the Bull City Connector. It has a website: www.bullcityconnector.org. It runs every 15 minutes from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and every 20 minutes from 6 p.m. till midnight during the week (on Saturdays, the bus runs on 20 minute intervals). The route starts at the Duke Hospital then moseys over to Main Street via Erwin Road before continuing all the way to Golden Belt, passing through town favorites like Brightleaf Square, American Tobacco District and City Center.
The best part: it’s free!
