Service Updates
Lexpress Route Changes
We will be making some route adjustments to better accommodate rider requests and connections to other transit services. We'd love to hear from you! At this time, we aren't able to increase frequency, expand service hours, or add more bus routes. Are there route changes that would make Lexpress more useful to you? Let us know at Transportation@lexingtonma.gov !
