BATA Offers Free Rides on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024

 

The Bay Area Transportation Authority is again offering free rides on all fixed-route Loop buses on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024, to encourage people to get to the polls and vote.

BATA has been offering free transportation on Election Day since 2018 and gave more than 900 free rides last year.

 

BATA's fixed routes are Bayline, 1, 2, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, WEST, 16, & 31
