Sunday (tomorrow!) is a big day in Lake Worth Beach for public transportation.


So many in the public — especially those who use Palm Tran bus services — have been awaiting this news for a long, long time.

Palm Tran bus route 62 returns to the beach in Lake Worth Beach.


Here is the news from Palm Tran on Twitter (tweet will load momentarily):




There used to be a bus stop at the former Casino building but that service was discontinued about a decade ago during the ‘renovation’. Bus service east of Dixie Hwy. on Lake and Lucerne avenues ended soon afterwards. The restoration of Palm Tran bus service to the beach is a big deal.

Quick Quiz: Why doesn’t Palm Tran have a bus that goes to the beach in West Palm Beach?


Answer: Because West Palm Beach doesn’t have a beach. WPB never had a beach but they always wished they did. But they don’t ergo why there is no bus to a beach in West Palm Beach.


Here is the Sunday schedule so you can plan your Palm Tran bus trip to the beach in Lake Worth Beach (times in boldface are p.m.).

Can you bring along pets, a beach umbrella or barbecue grill onto the Palm Tran bus? No! You cannot take these items onto a public bus.

But you can take on the bus to the beach food and beverages in sealed containers (but may not be consumed on the bus). Also allowed per Palm Tran, “Coolers, beach towels, flotation devices and other beach accessories may be brought as long as they fit on your lap or directly in front of you.”
