Rapid Link, a new express bus service, will be launched by The Riverside Transit Agency on Monday, Aug. 28, and will offer free rides for its first week.

The route, which runs between Corona and UC Riverside along Magnolia and University avenues, will operate during peak commute hours in the morning and afternoon every 15 minutes.

The service will have fewer stops than regular buses that travel the route and will be 30 percent faster, officials say.
