Wheels2U On-Demand Metro North Buses Expands Service to Coleytown Neighborhood
Wheels2U Westport, the Westport Transit District’s on-demand, group ride, door to train platform shuttle service, is expanding its service area to serve even more of Westport. Effective Monday, August 30, Wheels2U Westport will add the area from Coleytown Road to the Weston border to its service area. The new addition is bounded by North Avenue, Lyons Plains Road and Coleytown Road and includes all of Arlen Road, Fraser Road, Fraser Lane and Snowflake Lane. With this expansion Wheels2U Westport now provides convenient service to over 90% of all Westport.
Residents living in the Wheels2UWestport service area will be able to use the Wheels2U Westport app to request a pickup between 5:45 AM and 9:45 AM and between 4 PM and 8 PM and be taken to or from the Saugatuck or Greens Farms train platform and their front door. Pickups should be requested about 20 minutes before you would normally leave to drive to the station. The fare is $2.00 when paid with the Wheels2U app. A Metro North Uniticket rail/bus pass can also be used.
