........ The shuttles that fans will take to the TPC Deere Run will be the same buses that area schoolchildren take every day during the school year.
In years past, golf fans rode from satellite parking areas in MetroLink buses. In May, a Federal Transportation Administration ruling that prohibits publicly subsidized transit systems from offering charter services forced the MetroLink board to opt out of the contracted shuttle service to and from the TPC Deere Run.
