Bettendorf (And she made some friends, too) By Heather Sloman QUAD-CITY TIMES When there were rumors the Dial-A-Bus service in Bettendorf might end because of lack of ridership, 75-year-old Margaret Hartog rounded up friends to ride the bus every week to guarantee it would be there when they really needed it.

Now it has become a Saturday routine for her and several others from the Spruce Hills Village elderly apartment complex to board the bus, ride to a restaurant and spend time chatting and enjoying their meals. And when the service is really needed such as a ride to the doctor's office it's just a phone call away. Bettendorf's transit director, Margaret Lake, was so impressed with that spirit that she created a new award and made Mrs. Hartog "Passenger of the Year." "When you haven't got a car and your husband is gone you need a bus," Mrs. Hartog said.

Her husband, Karl, was ill when they moved into their apartment about six years ago. He died 13 Victorian tea planned KEWANEE, Ill.

Four or five women ride faithfully, but the group has had up to 12 bus riders since the outings began about a year ago, Mrs. Hartog said. "I hope they never quit it," she said. And now, Mrs. Hartog is busy planning an event that's even better than the usual Saturday outings a party at Jumer's Castle Lodge in early December.

So far 23 neighbors have said they'll attend, and most will ride the bus to get there. Dial-A-Bus is operated by the Great River Bend Regional Transit System and is available to all Bettendorf residents. With a little advance notice, the bus arrives at your door, takes you anywhere in the city, and will be there when you're ready to go home. A one-way trip is 50 cents for senior and handicapped citizens and $1 for others. Hours are 6 a.m.

to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. For a ride, call 386-1350.
