Free weekly rural transportation service launching in Kawartha Lakes

White Lightning Shopping Bus, a new free weekly rural transportation service in Kawartha Lakes, will begin operating on April 30, 2019.

The 20-passenger bus will run every Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., making stops at Valentia, Little Britain, Oakwood, Lindsay, Cameron, Long Beach, Fenelon Falls, Bobcaygeon, Dunsford, and Omemee.

The bus, nicknamed “White Lightning”, is owned by Michael Bryant and Pauline Kiely of Dromoland Stables in Little Britain, who also own the converted trolley that operated between downtown Peterborough and Peterborough Musicfest last summer.

“White Lightning Bus Tours will be filling a void for those looking to travel for tourism, shopping, attend medical appointments, visit family or the hospital, attend events, or join clubs,” states Bryant in a media release.
