Press Releases
12/01/2016
The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit) wishes you peace and good cheer as we enter The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. And while we’ll leave the marshmallows for toasting and mistletoeing to our riders, we hope everyone’s hearts will be glowing with our wrapped present this year. Free rides aboard the 2016 holiday bus!
The 2016 Holiday Bus has no bow but its wrapping is undeniable and once onboard additional holiday giveaways may await. The Holiday Bus is neither limited to a city nor bus line. Instead AC Transit riders should be on the look-out for the festive bus on any of our existing bus routes. Service begins December 1st and will operate through New Year’s Eve.
“Just over 172,000 riders chose AC Transit to get to friends, family, work, school, even the places we play here in the East Bay during 2016,” said Michael Hursh, AC Transit’s General Manager. “So in the time of year when we draw loved ones near, we thought it only fitting to reintroduce the Holiday Bus for those we value and hold near – our riders.”
So whether the holiday includes bells for jingling, a dreidel made of clay, red, green, and black candles that light the night for seven nights, we want to see and hear about your ride aboard the 2016 Holiday Bus. Snap a photo onboard or allow the joyful wrapping to serve as your backdrop.
Either way, post your Holiday Bus pics and tag @rideact on Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #actjoy for a chance to win a limited edition AC Transit Oaklandish T-shirt. Time is of the essence! The first 10 riders who post a 2016 Holiday Bus photo will be the winners of these stylish T-shirts. Timestamps of your post will determine the winners. We will notify the winners on social media and arrange pickup of your prize. To ensure this is the happiest season of them all, we ask only one photo per person or account.
It is The Most Wonderful Time of Year!
