Free Transportation In The Downtown Core…Ride ‘Buddy’ the Metrobus! July 9, 2009

If you are on the move Downtown, get a free ride with ‘Buddy’, a new service provided by Metrobus and supported by the Downtown Development Commission (DDC) for the summer.

Who is Buddy?

Buddy the bus is a new route offered by Metrobus and supported by the DDC and he services the Downtown core. He operates every 20 minutes Monday to Friday and services Water and Duckworth Street all day long (8:00 am – 5:40 pm). His schedule in effect from June 29 to September 6, 2009.

Buddy will give you a lift!

Buddy exists to help move people around Downtown and best of all, there is no charge! Park your car at one spot and ride Buddy to get to your desired location!

Buddy is easy to use.

Just stand at a bus stop along Buddy’s route and he’ll be along shortly. When you get close to where you are going pull the cord above your seat and Buddy will let you off at the next stop along the route
