Need a free ride to work? Trinity Metro extends coronavirus free fares

Trinity Metro will continue free bus fare through May 15, including for TEXRail and paratransit riders.

Not requiring riders to pay fare minimizes the amount of contact between drivers and the public, the transit service said.

Fort Worth bus service will continue to operate on a modified Sunday schedule seven days a week. Express routes 63X/64X and 65X are operating on their regular schedules. Some routes have been suspended, including the downtown Lunch Line, 71-Forest Hill and the 991-Jurur Shuttle. Molly the Trolley, the free downtown circulator, won’t operate until May 31.

To maintain social distancing, Trinity Metro is asking riders to sit in every other row and only in the window seat on the train. On buses, passengers should board and exit through the rear doors. Seating has been reduced by 35% to encourage distancing.

At least one bus driver has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
