The Rotary Club of Edina is sponsoring the City of Edina’s new Southdale-area circulator bus called CloverRide. With the goal of making the Southdale area more accessible, CloverRide is offered weekly on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Riders pay a daily fare of $3 that allows them unlimited rides throughout that day.“This is an additional way for people who either don’t have cars, choose not to drive, or can’t drive to get to where they want to go,” said City of Edina Transportation Planner Mark Nolan, who coordinated plans for the service. “We are very excited about this and we want anyone in the community to take advantage of the CloverRide service.”
CloverRide currently has 10 stops in the area that run on a loop, beginning at Brookdale Edina. The entire loop takes one hour. The full schedule with departure times can be found online here.
