Free Fares on “Holiday Bus”
Press Releases
12/06/2010
In the spirit of sharing this holiday season, all passengers who board AC Transit’s cheerful “Holiday Bus” will get free rides to their destinations.
Every year, AC Transit transforms one of its buses into a special holiday coach with brightly colored decorations that depict the joy and merriment of the season. Each day, the bus runs along a different route, giving riders throughout the District a chance to both see and ride the festive-looking bus.
And again this year, in a gesture of appreciation of our patrons, AC Transit has added a twist: The coach’s fare box will be covered for the duration of the holidays. That means anyone who boards the bus through December 31, 2010 will be allowed to ride for free.
“In these tough times, this is a token of gratitude for our loyal customers,’’ said Interim General Manager Mary King. “A free bus ride might be a small thing, but it is a way to show that we care about our passengers and the communities we serve. And maybe—hopefully—it will bring smiles at a time when smiles are badly needed, making this season a little bit brighter for all of us.”
