There’s a new transportation option that is helping people squeeze the most out of their lunch break. It’s called "The Squeeze," and it’s designed to give people an easy and free ride downtown. With a top speed of 19.5 mph, "The Squeeze" is an eight-seat golf cart now looping around Lakeland's downtown area between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday through Friday. The idea? Draw more people into Lakeland’s downtown during the lunch hours. “I think that would help a lot on the parking and that. Help the people,” said workers like Jill Leigh, who believes it’s a great idea. Usually, Leigh and lots of others end up paying for parking. That is if they can find a space, which can be tough. “Sometimes you can't even park there and then you have to find a parking spot. And then if you don't park in the right spot, then you get a ticket,” Leigh said. "The Squeeze," with stops scattered along a strategic route, is free to ride and with pickups every six to eight minutes, there’s little if any waiting either.
