The New Year has two big changes in store for the Upper Merion Rambler, a community shuttle provided by Upper Merion Township.
The Rambler,which currently runs Monday through Friday only, will begin providing service on Saturdays starting on January 28, 2012. We're excited to see the Township expand the service so that more residents and visitors can use the shuttle to get around the King of Prussia area.
The look of the Rambler has changed as well. Starting on Monday, January 23, the Rambler will look as pictured above. In a region that has a lot of shuttles and van services, it is easy to get confused and accidently get on the wrong shuttle. This new design will make finding the Rambler easy for riders.
GVF has managed the service since it started in 1999, and we are proud to see the Rambler ridership grow and days of service expanded. It's a truly convenient resource for travelers in Upper Merion Township, especially seniors.
The Rambler runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Seniors age 65 and over ride free. Fares are:
$2 per ride for adults
$.50 per ride for students ages 7-17
Children under 7 riding with an adult ride free
10-trip tickets - $10. The 10-trip tickets are a good investment for regular riders, since you are paying half of the cash fare per ride.
We hope to see you on the Rambler soon!
