As the Florida Panthers gear up for the Stanley Cup finals, fans in Broward County have a convenient transportation option to get to the big games. Broward County Transit (BCT) is offering Panthers Express Shuttles to the Amerant Bank Arena starting June 8 for the duration of the home games in the series, specifically Games 1, 2, 5, and 7 if they're needed.
The shuttles will start picking up fans from the Government Center West building, operating on an hourly schedule with departures at 5PM, 6PM, and 7PM before each home game, according to an announcement by Broward County Transit. To accommodate those post-game adrenaline highs and to ensure that all participants are returned to their vehicles, the return services will commence at 10PM, continuing until every last fan has left the arena.
Riding the bus won't break the bank either, the regular $2 bus fare per person will apply for each trip with the requirement of exact change. For those who have embraced the digital age, payments can be made using Broward County Transit's Mobile Ticketing App. Plus, there's no need to worry about the price gouging that so often comes with major sporting events parking – Broward County Transit's offering free parking at a Pop-Up Park & Ride located at the Government Center West.
Broward County Transit's gesture is more than just a way to stem the havoc that game-day traffic tends to wreak, it's a community service that allows fans to rally behind their team without the worry of fighting through the congestion, or the scramble for parking that leaves many stranded in lots far from the action. "This reliable and affordable shuttle service is a great way to avoid traffic and parking hassles," Broward County Transit stated, with the fans' experience and convenience at the forefront of this initiative.
