Riverside
Transit Agency To Offer Free Bus
Service On New Year’s Eve
In
an effort to keep people safe
this holiday season, the Riverside
Transit Agency will offer free
bus service on all 38 fixed routes
beginning at 6 p.m. on December
31. The free fare will run until
the end of each bus schedule on
that day.
RTA’s
Board Chairman and San Jacinto
Councilman Jim Ayres said the
free rides are not only designed
to keep people safe on New Year’s
Eve, but also a way of saying
thank you to passengers who ride
all year.
“The
free rides are a great way to
support passengers who will be
working on New Year’s Eve or who
do not want to drive that evening,”
Ayres said.
Because
the majority of RTA’s routes don’t
run much later than 8 p.m., the
service is ideal for those who
plan to head home early, or for
those who are heading out for
the night and have alternative
transportation plans for their
return trip home.
RTA’s
buses will operate on their Sunday
schedules on January 1. If a route
doesn’t operate on a Sunday schedule,
then there will not be any service
on that day.
The
Riverside Transit Agency provides
public transportation for Western
Riverside County, operating 38
fixed routes, 5 commuter routes
and 15 demand response services.
RTA’s service area spans 2,500
square miles, the second-largest
in the nation. For bus route and
schedule information contact RTA
