The Wheels on the Bus Go BOO!
Oct. 21, 2023
Halloween is one of the deadliest driving days of the year, not only because folks are consuming celebratory libations but also because lots of kids and their parents are out on the roads. (Not to mention the errant zombie lumbering by.) While Halloween proper isn’t until next week, Benzie Bus is getting in the spirit of the holiday by offering its free Nite Owl service on Saturday, Oct. 28. Benzie residents can use the bus between 5pm and 1am to get home from parties, bars, and spooky spots. “2022 was a record year for our Nite Owl service,” says Jessica Carland, Benzie Bus executive director, noting that over 400 rides were provided last year. Nite Owl is part of the transportation organization’s SoberRides program, which helps folks stay off the roads on busy nights like Halloween and New Year’s Eve.
