Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority has announced changes to its LANtaBus and LANtaFlex services, effective Sept. 28.
Key LANTA service changes and additions include:
• Route 325 has been extended to Palmerton, offering connections to Carbon County fixed-route bus service, and provide access from Walnutport/Slatington to various medical offices in Palmerton.
• Additional evening trips have been added to routes 108 & 212 to better serve St. Luke’s Hospital-Fountain Hill, and Bethlehem’s eastern neighborhoods
• Due to the Allentown School District’s decision to use virtual instruction only for the first marking period, service on LANTA’s 400 level routes will not operate this fall. Additionally, evening service to and from Lehigh Carbon Community College in Schnecksville on Route 209 has been canceled.
All LANTA fixed-route buses accept the new contactless fare-paying app, Token Transit, which eliminates any handling of cash or tickets as passengers board the bus. Token Transit is available on both IOS and Android platforms.
LANtaBus’ current discounts on 31-Day passes will remain in place until further notice.
