Seniors and the Disabled Ride TheBus FREE
Seniors (55+) and disabled customers can now ride TheBus
FREE-of-charge during normal operational hours from 6 AM – 7 PM, Monday - Friday. To take advantage of this new program, riders just have to present one form of proper identification - driver’s license, Metro Senior/Metro Disabled/MetroAccess card, or similar ID – to the bus driver.
