MAYC Bus Service to Return Round Trip Charge, $1.50 Mary Ann Young Center volunteer drivers are gearing up to once again provide bus service to local residents needing a ride to and from the MAYC for meals and/or activity programs. Call at least 24 hours in advance to request a ride. Pick up times vary depending on your location of residence. Bus capacity will be limited for safety and all riders must wear a face mask. Drivers begin routes at varied times after 9AM each day. Return routes are offered in the afternoon following program conclusion. Current cost for riding the bus is $1.50 round trip. Staff are grateful for the return of most of our former drivers, and the addition of a new driver. Once drivers have renewed their certificates, bus service will begin. Tentative start date: June 7. Anyone interested in being a volunteer driver should call staff at 763-786-9375 for details. It is a great service provided to the older adult community, and days of service are flexible.
