Cap Metro offering free weekend fares
Friday, June 4, 2021 by Tai Moses
To celebrate the post-pandemic return to normalcy, Capital Metro is offering free rides every Saturday and Sunday from June 5 to July 4. The transit agency suggests that riders “take MetroBus down to South Congress, MetroRail up to Q2 Stadium and MetroRapid to the fireworks on July 4.” To top it off, Visit Austin is keeping track of annual fireworks displays and other Fourth of July-related events here.
