Cheltenham Transit Bus Service
Due to pressing budgetary constraints combined with declining ridership, uncertain grant funding and increasing costs, the Cheltenham Township Board chose against extending transit bus service into 2010. Therefore, the last day of the Cheltenham Transit Bus Service will be Thursday, December 31, 2009.
The Cheltenham Transit Service operates on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays only. The bus will run in Abington Township on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
