FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CITY CONTINUES FREE SATURDAY BUS SERVICE
Mayor Jeremy Harris announced today that the City will continue its popular Saturday bus shuttle service to assist people who need to get into town for work or shopping or to get around within their community. Chinatown Gateway Plaza, at the intersection of Hotel and Bethel streets, will continue as “grand central” for most of the 16 school buses that will be providing service.
