Local seniors will have a new transportation choice with the launch of Airdrie Transit’s Community Route on Monday, October 3. Transit Coordinator, Chris MacIssac says the service will be a big help for seniors on the move.

The new community route will provide pick-ups at Fletcher Village, Luxstone Manor, Woodside Place Condominiums, Bethany Care Centre, Cedarwood Station and Diamond Jubilee. It'll operate Mondays on a fixed route using a fully accessible bus. Fares will be consistent with the existing transit service at $2 per trip.
