From Free Fares to Student Passes: Good News from Waco Transit

The City of Waco encourages residents to take full advantage of this service. Free rides will be available on all Waco bus routes during the event.

Save Your Cash! All Waco Transit Fares are FREE on August 9

“We’re always looking for ways to help the community. The weeks before school start are a very busy time for families, and resources can run low. So this is one thing people won’t have to worry about — how to get to and from the shopping centers.”So, if you need a ride during tax-free weekend, Waco Transit has you covered.
