Transit systems coordinate on new Guide to Ride
Using public transportation in Lawrence is easier now that information about all bus routes is available in one convenient Guide to Ride.
The Lawrence Transit System and KU on Wheels have created a publication that combines route maps, schedules and information on city and university bus routes.
Both systems previously had their own large fold-out maps. The new Guide to Ride is a booklet with a small system map that folds out from the back. Separate pages for each of the 16 routes illustrate the route map and schedules for that particular route.
The Guide to Ride is part of the first round of recommendations issued by a team of nationally recognized transportation specialists hired to assist in coordinating the two transit systems.
