Portland Metro officials launch the new bus service at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday in Portland.

PORTLAND, Maine - Residents in Freeport and Yarmouth have a new travel option:  The Metro bus is now offering express service between the two communities, and also connects them to Falmouth and Portland. 

At a ribbon cutting ceremony in Freeport this morning, the executive director of Freeport Community Services, Melanie Sachs, said she often hears about the needs of the community.  

"And guess what that number one issue has been for as long as I've been there, which is many, many years? Transportation."

The Metro Breez Express service now offers nine weekday round trips and five Saturday trips between Freeport, Yarmouth, Falmouth, and Portland.  Metro Breez rides are free through June 18.
