“I love to support our Dayton arts community, and I think the Flyer is a cool idea,” Lumpkin said. “I love to share trivia with people if they are expecting it or if they are not expecting trivia.”

Prizes for the Flyer trivia will range from small items to $25 gift cards to downtown businesses for tougher questions, Beerbower said.

The Flyer, a free circulator bus launched Nov. 9, runs on a continuous loop that stretches from Monument Avenue by RiverScape MetroPark to Irvin Avenue by the University of Dayton.

A map to the Flyer's route can be found on RTA's website and in some downtown businesses.
