Free Duval Loop to Launch
Want to avoid the hassle of traffic and parking? Why not park your car and leave it, then hop on the free Duval Loop!
Key West Transit will launch the much-awaited free bus service to the downtown corridor on Thursday, August 31st for the Labor Day weekend.
This free hop-on hop-off bus service runs from the City’s Park and Ride on Grinnell Street, along Caroline Street, up the length of Whitehead, then returns down the length of Simonton to Fleming. Funded by last year’s one-dollar increase in parking meter rates, the Duval Loop provides free and easy access to restaurants, galleries, gift shops and theatres. Just park once and forget it.
The free Duval Loop will run Thursday through Sunday until November, when it will begin running seven days a week.
The Duval Loop makes 16 stops along the way, and runs every half hour in the mornings — from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. — and it runs every 15 minutes from 11 a.m. until midnight. For a detailed schedule or to track the Duval Loop bus in real time, go to www.kwtransit.com
Go green and ride the bus –The Free Duval Loop!
Is this only for people paying to park or can tourist use it too ?
All can ride for FREE. Residents, Tourist, and whatever else’s that is crawling on the streets.
Won’t that have a huge impact on Taxi , ped cabs and even the conch train ?
For us it is dam near perfect. Goes every place we usually go to other than Ft Zack beach. We always park at the B and B we stay at. I love the idea and will save our feet. Should help places that can’t afford the high Duval rents.
Finally something free for tourists.
