CAT Provides Free Halloween Rides

Oct. 27, 2015

Capital Area Transit (CAT) will be providing a Free Ride Day on Halloween.

This fare free day is not limited to any time or route. It will be available for all 12 routes all day.

“I am excited to have this Free Ride Day on Halloween for our community as one of the first big promotions as Executive Director,” said Transit Executive Director Roy Rickert. “I have heard about its success in the past years, and hope it continues to be a great experience for our customers. It’s a way to say ‘Thank you’ to our loyal riders and give new riders a chance to try CAT for free.”

Drivers for CAT will provide a sweet treat for riders taking advantage of the Halloween Free Ride Day. Candy will be available – while it lasts – for riders on Oct. 31. This is the eighth consecutive year CAT has provided fare-free fun for Halloween.

The 12 CAT bus routes run in Bismarck and Mandan, from about 7 a.m. to about 7 p.m., on Oct. 31, depending on the route. Riders may “Catch the CAT” on any safe corner along a route by waving to the bus driver as the bus approaches. More information, including a series of “How to Ride” videos, is available online.
