GRTC will provide free rides to current and former members of the military on Veterans Day, Sunday, Nov. 11, the transit company has announced.

The free rides will be available to anyone carrying a military ID or a document showing them eligible for Veterans Administration benefits.

Active duty, reserve and former service members need only show proof of service or VA eligibility to ride free that day on Pulse, regular buses or the CARE van paratransit service.

Company buses also will display a “Thank you, veterans!” on their electronic sign boards, GRTC officials stated.

The free rides follow on the heels of GRTC’s agreement with the city to provide free rides on its vehicles on Election Day. GRTC absorbed the estimated $24,000 to provide the service to help people get to the polls.
