OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — Transit riders in this city can ride free every third Friday from May through September under a new promotion launched by Embark, the public transit agency, and Allegiance Credit Union.
Third Friday Free covers fixed-route buses, RAPID NW, Zone 1 Paratransit bus, the OKC Streetcar and Oklahoma River Cruises. The promotion runs May 15, June 20, July 18, August 15 and Sept. 18.
Oklahoma River Cruises operate seasonally from April through November on a Wednesday through Friday schedule. According to Embark, it is encouraging riders to arrive early on free fare days, as river cruises have limited capacity and high demand is expected.
“Public transportation is a vital lifeline for many, whether they are traveling to work, medical appointments, or the grocery store,” JC Reavis, president and CEO of the $372.3-million Allegiance Credit Union, said in a statement.
