VIA introduced the Blue Route for the holiday season, where a bus comes every 15 minutes and connects Southtown with major downtown hotspots and the Pearl. It also runs until 11PM, which is great for those of us out enjoying our beautiful city in the evening. Public Transportation is vital to a vibrant and sustainable downtown. If you would like to see this route (or something similar) become a permanent amenity, please sign this petition.

I love at the Pearl. I've ridden the blue line a few times since it began here. I've actually talked to tourists who didn't know it was available. It would be well used with more exposure.
