MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • July 21, 2024

The LAP, a new commuter bus service between Lewiston-Auburn and Portland, will begin operating Monday, the Maine Department of Transportation announced. The pilot bus service will include several runs daily from 4:30 a.m. to midnight Monday through Friday and from 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on weekends. The pilot bus service will operate for at least two years and serve as an indicator of the latent demand and potential market for enhanced public transportation between Portland and Lewiston-Auburn. The new service is expected to attract some of the hundreds of workers who are traveling that route daily.
