Participate in the next Ride the Bus Event during June 2010. All Aboard Erie is encouraging everyone to ride the bus right after Memorial Day – from Tuesday to Saturday, June 1 – 5. (There is no EMTA bus service on Memorial Day.) The first week in June features downtown events including the Wild Rib Cookoff and Music Festival. You may visit the Erie Art Museum, shop at the Erie Book Store or Glass Growers Gallery or enjoy one of our great downtown restaurants. During the dates of the Cookoff, June 2 – 5, EMTA buses will travel on Peach and French Streets between 4th and 7th Streets, to avoid Perry Square. Enjoy all that Erie’s downtown has to offer, without worrying about taking time to find a parking spot or getting a ticket. For more information contact the AAE Bus Division Director Julie Minich via email: bus@allaboarderie.com
