The public got a chance to voice their opinions about the proposed expansion of the EmX bus line into West Eugene during a public hearing on Tuesday night.
Three years ago, Lane Transit District's first phase of the EmX system opened between Eugene and Springfield. Phase two opens on Sunday. KVAL's Tom Adams hopped on board for a test ride.
As Lane Transit District drivers begin training and testing new EmX routes in Springfield, the agency is also working on plans for a third leg of the rapid bus transit system. LTD hopes to build a EmX line to carry riders to the Commerce Street area in West Eugene.
