The Cheltenham Bus

I was going to start talking about our own little Cheltenham Bus at length but someone recently did a search about it so I'll talk a little bit about it now.

Currently the Cheltenham Bus runs 3 days a week - Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.  It travels through the Cheltenham area starting from the Rowland Community Center and ending at the Glenside Train Station and visa vers.  Roughly speaking there are 3 trips meaning 3 separate times to board the bus at any given stop.  Some of the stops include the Melrose Shopping Center, the Coventry House, the Fox Pavillion and the Cheltenham Mall. 

Of course the bus doesn't run on holidays and residents over the age of 62 can ride free with a Township Transit ID or with a PennDot Id or a Medicare Card.  Other residents can ride by paying a $4 fee but there are trip tickets available in quantities of 10 trips for $10 which comes out to a dollar a trip. 

More information about the Cheltenham Bus (and its routes) can be found at the cheltenham site at:
