CityLink and the Peoria Riverfront Museum Partner in April

CityLink and the Peoria Riverfront Museum are partnering for the month of April to offer a free entry opportunity for CityLink, CityLift and CountyLink passengers who present a bus pass or ticket for one of these services.  Passengers simply show their bus pass/ticket at the museum’s admission desk to gain free general entry to the museum and its special exhibits in April.  One bus pass/ticket is required per adult.

“Riding local public transportation gets you free entry to the Peoria Riverfront Museum the month of April.  We are excited to partner with this great local institution that offers educational exhibits, classes, workshops and programs.  The museum agreeing to offer free entry to our passengers who present a bus pass or ticket in April provides an added benefit to being a supporter of the transportation services we offer.”

CityLink General Manager Doug Roelfs.

Below is the list of accepted bus passes/tickets:

• CityLink Day Pass – $3 per pass
  • Offers unlimited fixed route rides for one complete service day
• CityLink 30-Day Pass – $30 per pass
