A new evening shuttle service connecting Picton, Bloomfield and Wellington will begin operations on Friday, June 17.
The shuttle, a new pilot project operated by County Transit, will be available from 5 pm to 10:30 pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays until Thanksgiving weekend. Fares are $5 one way (cash only). To guarantee a seat, passengers are asked to reserve their place by contacting Quinte Transit at 613.392.9640, toll free 1.855.283.9640, or countytransit.ca.
“Keeping County roads safe is important. Having a shuttle in place means residents and visitors alike can leave their personal vehicles behind and better enjoy their summer evenings safely,” says Mayor Steve Ferguson.
Two 18-passenger buses will operate as part of the shuttle service, one starting in Wellington at 5 pm, the other starting in Picton at 5 pm. Stops along the way include:
- King Street (Picton) parking lot (5 pm; 5:45 pm; 6:30 pm; 7:15 pm; 8 pm; 8:45 pm; 9:30 pm; and 10:15 pm)
