“Oh What Fun It Is To Ride” with AC Transit on the Free Holiday Bus

This holiday season, get into the spirit with AC Transit on our free holiday bus! Oh, what fun it is to ride—the bus!—from December 1 to 31, with our specially wrapped Holiday Bus offering free rides on different local lines throughout the East Bay. 

The tradition of a free-ride Holiday bus began in 1963—just three years after AC Transit began service. This year’s bus takes lines from the popular holiday tune, “Jingle Bells,” one of the best known, and commonly sung American songs in the world. Different bus routes are highlighted in festive ornaments all over the bus—see if you can spot your line.

As an added thank you for your continued ridership and support, we’ve created some festive Holiday Bus gifts! While you’re on the Holiday Bus, grab a mini paper bus (while supplies last!). We’ve also created some paper-chain ornaments and gift tags, available throughout our fleet or at the Customer Service Center in Oakland. 

We’re looking forward to more rides in 2024 and many journeys together on the roads of the East Bay with you. 

Wishing you joy and happiness on your holiday journeys!
