Trans-Bridge Ensures Seats with New Reservation System
Starting December 18, Trans-Bridge Lines is set to revolutionize its service by transitioning to a complete reservation-based system. This change, marking a significant shift from its traditional first-come, first-served model, aims to enhance passenger convenience and operational efficiency. The new system, which began its phased implementation in spring with the Doylestown/Flemington routes, will now include routes to Newark Airport and the Allentown/Clinton routes. With this update, passengers can enjoy the certainty of a reserved seat, eliminating the need for early arrivals to secure a spot. The system also allows the company to better manage bus capacities and plan for peak travel periods. Passengers are advised to arrive about 15 minutes before departure and are given a 16-hour window to reschedule boarding passes, after which tickets become null and void without a refund.
Golf, Games, and Gourmet: Twisted Tees Opens Soon
Twisted Tees, set to open at The Outlets at Wind Creek Bethlehem, will feature a variety of indoor sports and entertainment options, including golf simulators and yard games, alongside a full bar and elevated pub fare. The venue, operated by AJ and Nikki Mitchell, aims to provide a family-friendly atmosphere and will occupy a 10,000-square-foot space.
Classic Flavors Unite: Jaindl and Yoccoâs Collaboration
In a delightful collaboration, Jaindl Beverage Company, the owner of the A-Treat soda brand, has teamed up with Yocco's, a renowned hot dog shop in the Lehigh Valley. This partnership introduces A-Treat Birch Beer as a fountain drink at Yocco's, marking a significant expansion in the distribution of this beloved beverage. Additionally, A-Treat Diet Birch Beer will be available in bottles. This initiative not only broadens the accessibility of A-Treat Birch Beer but also celebrates the rich heritage of both brands.
