MTD Bus
The MTD bus is a great way to get downtown or anywhere in the city. There is a Northbound bus stop across Cliff Dr and a southbound (toward downtown) on Cliff Dr to the left of the stoplight. That bus arrives once per hour. The schedule is online and we also have a schedule book in the basket on the bookshelf.
