RT Offers Free Rides on the 23rd Annual Holiday Bus

The Sacramento Regional Transit District (RT) will help make the 2015 holiday season merry and bright by offering the gift of a free ride on the RT Holiday Bus. As a thank you to riders, the festive 40-foot Holiday Bus will travel on a different route each day from Tuesday, December 1, 2015 through Sunday, January 3, 2016.

In the spirit of giving, passengers will have the opportunity to place a monetary donation in the farebox or contribute a non-perishable food item. All donations will benefit River City Food Bank, a non-profit organization that provides emergency food and housing assistance in Sacramento County.

Continuing a long-standing tradition, RT employees and their families painted the exterior of the Holiday Bus with colorful poinsettias, gingerbread men and candy canes. Rick Sloan, retired RT graphic designer and long-time Holiday Bus artist, outlined the design on the bus, which allowed participants to each paint individual sections in bright colors.

For Holiday Bus route and schedule information, call 916-321-BUSS (2877) or visit sacrt.com.
