The City of Macedonia recently and excitedly launched their senior citizen shuttle bus, called the MacMobile, a 2022 Eldorado Advance 22 Ford Transit, that will be used for senior citizen day trips. The bus was purchased at Nations Bus Sales on April 11, 2023. Mayor Nick Molnar drove the MacMobile of eight senior citizen passengers to the Hartville Kitchen for its inaugural run August 18th. Molnar said, “The first trip on the MacMobile was amazing. The guests on board had a nice meal and the opportunity to check out some shopping at the indoor flea market, which was enjoyed by all. We are excited to have the community bus up and running and we will plan more with as it evolves.” The bus can accommodate up to ten seated passengers and two wheelchairs. More outings are planned via the Macedonia Senior Center, which also hosts many in-house activities along with speakers throughout the year.
