Rural shopping bus making a comeback this spring

KAWARTHA LAKES-White Lightning, the rural transportation shopping bus is set to hit the roads again this spring.

The Shopping and Tourism Bus was tested last year and took riders to and from Lindsay, Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Bobcaygeon, Omemee, Little Britain and Bethany.  “We are developing a plan to provide complimentary Bus Rides on Tuesdays starting in the Spring of 2019 for Residents, Seniors and Handicapped.” said Michael Bryant , one of the organizers of the bus. “Our goal is to expand this service as well to other days in the week.”

The white bus is a modern 20 passenger unit with handicap lift and will be supported by Local Business, Advertisers and Media according to Bryant. There will be modern Video Screens and Shopping Coupons as well. “We will also be offering specific Day Tours and Excursions for reasonable costs in the community.” Bryant explained in a Facebook post.

Bryant says the bus is supported by the Chambers of Lindsay, Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls.
