BUCKWHEAT EXPRESS AND ROWLESBURG
The folks at Buckwheat Express are considering new bus routes for the future. The service now includes Terra Alta, Kingwood, Reedsville, Masontown, Morgantown, with some service to Tunnelton, Newburg, and Fellowsville. Rowlesburg, Macomber, Etam, and Aurora are left out. I had contacted Buckwheat Express some months ago to lobby for service to the Rowlesburg area. They seemed receptive and told me they were studying the entire system. They have hired a consulting company to conduct interviews and help redesign the system.
This would be a good time to contact the Buckwheat Express (304) 329-0464 and let them know of your interest. Imagine getting on board in Rowlesburg and connecting to buses to Morgantown Airport, WVU Medical Center, and Mon General Hospital. Getting to Kingwood can be tough at times if you don't have a car or your car isn't runnng. You could take a bus ifrom Rowlesburg to Walgreens, the courthouse, and Walmart.
It's important to speak up now. Best, Tim Weaver
