Commuter Bus Service:
LeRoy, Grand Meadow and Chester, IA to Rochester Make a Payment

News & Updates

Commuter Service Update - Nov. 2020

Our commuter service remains suspended due the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, Mayo Clinic has announced the discontinuation of the commuter bus subsidy, which means commuter service would only be available at our full fares.

We are now working to restore commuter service to Rochester. Our research has shown that despite higher fares and more people working from home, there is still a need and desire for commuter bus service to Rochester.

We are exploring new possible stops in Adams and Spring Valley, in addition to our existing stops in Le Roy, Chester and Grand Meadow. Many options are on the table. However, due to the large planning needs and the current surge of COVID-19, it is unlikely that service will return before the end of the year.

Until then, we'd like to hear from you. If you are interested in commuter bus service, contact us at info@leroycitylines.com and tell us (1) how often you would ride, (2) which pick-up location you would use and (3) your preferred AM arrival time and PM departure time in Rochester. If you have already responded to these questions through our recent surveys or Facebook, you don't need to respond.

Thank you for your patience, as we navigate this new world. We hope to see you on board again soon.
