Question:  Here’s an Ask Us question for you. I know that there’s a shuttle service for UK football games but where do you catch it at and is the service free? Thanks

Julie

 Answer: Information on how to catch the shuttle and its cost ran in the Herald-Leader on Sept. 1 of this year:

“Take the shuttle.”

That’s the message Lexington police Sgt. Paul Sims wants fans to hear.

“We give priority to the shuttle on a dedicated route,” he said. “It’s a straight shot in and a straight shot out.”
