Cap Metro free for the day
Tuesday, November 5, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
Today is Election Day, which means … a lot of things. One of those things, simply enough, is the suspension of all fares for all Capital Metro services in the hopes of offering easy, free access to the polls, which are open today from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. (and mapped below). To make things even easier, residents looking to use public transit to get to those polls can search out the closest voting location by searching “VOTE” in Capital Metro’s trip planner.
