The Grounds of Alexandria Is Launching a Lunch Break Shuttle Bus

Do you ever sit at work, staring out the window and wish that something would come to take you away from all this drudgery? Well, you may need a new job. But in the meantime, you can call the The Grounds of Alexandria to come and transport you and your colleagues to a better place — for the duration of your lunch break, at least.

The aptly titled Express-O Bus (like when you groggily mispronounce 'espresso' in the morning) is a free shuttle service that will transport you between your office and The Grounds anytime between 10.30am and 3.30pm during the week. No longer will you have to settle for a soggy sandie or spend most of your lunch break walking to The Grounds instead of actually eating there. Instead, you'll be chaperoned in a funky green Kombi van to your guaranteed booking in either The Cafe or The Potting Shed for an Instagrammable lunch feast to make everyone who stayed in the office insanely jealous.

The bus can accommodate four to seven people and is currently operating in the suburbs of Rosebery, Mascot and Alexandria, but will expand if the service proves popular. The bus will also pick up groups from private homes in the area if you're interested in dining in, but unfortunately this service doesn't extend to delivering take away coffees and avo on toast. Well, not yet anyway.

The Express-O Bus is available from today, June 14. To book a ride, call 0459 GROUNDS. And for more info, visit their website.
