Free rides for voters on Election Day, veterans and active military on Veteran’s Day
On Election Day, Tuesday, November 5, anyone in the Metro Bus service area who is headed to or from a polling place can ride the bus for free! Fixed Route and Northstar Link customers need to inform the Bus Operator they are going to vote and Dial-a-Ride customers will have to let the Dispatcher know when they call to schedule their ride. Metro Bus is proud to help our community get out to vote!
Additionally, on Veterans Day, Monday, November 11, Metro Bus invites all veterans and active military members to enjoy free rides on all Metro Bus services. Fixed Route and Northstar Link customers must show their military ID upon boarding. Dial-a-Ride customers should notify Metro Bus of veteran or active military status when scheduling rides and be prepared to show ID when boarding.
Metro Bus honors the sacrifices made by veterans and their families to protect our country! Metro Bus is proud to employ many veterans and active-duty military members as well as military spouses and to provide service for veterans throughout our community.
Service-connected veterans also receive free rides on Fixed Route buses every day with proper identification.
