Citilink expands route with help from Parkview

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - Parkview Health teamed up with Citilink bus service to provide a new public route that will connect Parkview Randallia and Parkview Regional areas beginning January 7.

Parkview Health agreed to underwrite the cost of the new route. Previously, Citilink did not provide transportation beyond the Fort Wayne city limits. Parkview Regional Medical Center was just beyond the city limits.

“We have been working closely with Citilink to explore ways to improve public transportation options,” said Sue Ehinger, president of Parkview Hospital and affiliates. “Parkview wants to ensure that patients and visitors have the appropriate access to medical services and facilities. Our decision to fund the new route will result in access that is greatly improved.”

The bus service will operate hourly Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The route will connect the medical campuses with Citilink routes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 21 along with the destination points along the Medlink route.

Rides are $1.25 per ride and discounts are available.
