The launch of the 21 Hop & Shop program is approaching quickly. This program rewards people for riding the route 21 bus on Lake Street by offering discounts and special offers at 75 different Lake Street corridor businesses for anyone who can show a current bus pass or transfer. Metro Transit has now produced flyers promoting the program, which can be found at various participating businesses or at our office. Additionally, KARE 11 recently included the 21 Hop & Shop in a segment about Lake Street reconstruction, which you can see here. The official kick-off will take place in the Midtown Global Market at 6:00 PM on Thursday October 5th.
