Lyft Service on the Whipple Section

I got a post on Facebook today from TheNewsCenter stating that Lyft just opened up a new Parkersburg Area that covers Marietta and surrounding communities.  So, I did a screen shot of their webpage and cropped out the map in Microsoft Paint, then cut them in two to make them more manageable so I could overlay them in Google Earth Pro.

They barely clip Whipple, but hikers have access to them from Points 07 - 10 (10/2010 map & guide).  We still have access to a few local transit lines 2.7mi SW of Pt. 09.  But because Lyft could pick up directly at Pt. 10, the Whipple Section is now 66.5% compliant with the BTA's 10 mile initiative.

The hiker would need to line up their scheduling so that they rendezvous with the local transit vehicle in Macksburg of Washington County, and it only runs once on Thursdays.
