Commuters have always been able to catch a bus, train or plane, but now they can catch The Squeeze<\/a> in Lakeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an eight-person golf cart that zips around the greater downtown area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, the Citrus Connection, which came up with the idea, announced that \u2018the Squeeze \u2018will start making the rounds on Monday. It will operate at lunchtime during the week, and on Friday and Saturday nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The drivers are going to know the history of the town, and make it entertaining for you, not just transportation,” Julie Townsend, executive director of the Lakeland Downtown Development Authority, told the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Townsend says there is plenty of parking in Lakeland, but not always close to where you want to go when you want to go there. So, now you can park where it\u2019s convenient, hop on \u2018the Squeeze\u2019, and get to where you have to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
