Robin Hood pays customers to take new bus route

Read storyA new bus route will provide easy access to the Robin Hood discount store and more options for residents of Cowpen and Marshall Roads.

To encourage use of the new route, Robin Hood has committed to pay for the bus rides of people who use the service to shop at the store.

President of the Public Transit Authority Reuben Rahming said drivers are making less than 15% of what they would make on other routes. But he said, "We are confident that with the volume of shoppers who are committed to the Robin Hood brand, things will soon pick up."

The new route, known as 22A, will be serviced by ten franchises.

It will take the following route:

• The former straw market on Bay street
  
• Elizabeth Avenue
  
• Market Street
  
• Wulff Road
  
• Poinciana Drive
  
• Thompson Boulevard
  
• Bethel Avenue
  
• Mckinney Avenue
  
• Christie Street
  
• Tonique Williams Darling Highway
  
• Milo Butler Highway
  
• Faith Avenue
  
• Marshall Road
  
• Baillou Hill Road
  
• Cowpen Road
