Enhanced Transit Service For Bonita Springs The New Route 150

Riverside Park
10451 Pennsylvania Avenue
Bonita Springs, Florida

The Lee County Board of County Commissioners and the City of Bonita Springs pooled their resources and worked cooperatively and the result is a greatly enhanced public transit system for both the citizens of Bonita Springs and Lee County. Additionally, a special thanks goes out to the numerous local businesses who surveyed their employees to help LeeTran determine the path of the route and bus stop locations.

LeeTran, with the generous support of the City of Bonita Springs, introduces the new Route 150. The route will operate on a fixed route schedule Monday-Friday from 6:00am to 5:45pm. The enhanced service will provide more opportunity to ride LeeTran, not only for Bonita Springs residents, but people that want to travel to Bonita Springs as well. The Route will connect periodically to our Route 140, which is the heaviest used route in our system.

By forging a valuable partnership, LeeTran and the City of Bonita Springs will be providing higher quality public transit than LeeTran could provide alone. High quality public transit results in more opportunity, more access, more choice and more freedom to the citizens it serves. And any community that provides more of those values to its citizens is a better community for everyone to live in.

The Route will run from Publix on Bonita Grande Drive/Bonita Beach Road west on Bonita Beach Road, north on Imperial Street, west on Dean Street then north on Business 41 until US 41. It will then travel south on US 41 to the Center of Bonita Springs shopping plaza at US 41 and Bonita Beach Road. The 70 minute route will end there, turn around and travel the same roads in reverse order.
