Tri County Link Expands Transit |
 |
|
During an introductory period, September 2 –
November 30, 2008, customers can ride
FREE on the new commuter routes as well as on all TriCounty Link routes throughout the three counties. If that’s not enough of an incentive, the Link is also sponsoring a drawing that will award a
FREE trip to
Las Vegas to some lucky customer at the end of the three month period. The more you ride the better your chance to win!
“At TriCounty Link we have not increased fares since our start-up in 1996”, stated Executive Director William Hutto. “We’re pleased to offer free rides during the three-month introductory period and also that the new commuter service will create more transportation options for residents of
Berkeley,
Charleston and
Dorchester counties than anywhere else in the state.”
In addition to the new commuter routes, TriCounty Link also introduced a new web site at www.ridetricountylink.com.
