METRO Gives Free Passes to Portland Middle and High School Students
METRO, the greater Portland transit district, is giving free bus passes to Portland middle and high school students. The passes will allow student to ride METRO free through December.
“We are pleased to be able to offer this busing option to our students and are most appreciative of the role that METRO has played in seeing this idea to fruition,” said Portland Superintendent Mary Jo O’Connor.
The TenRide passes are intended to encourage young people to use the bus service. “We want students and their parents to discover the convenience of using METRO to travel the Greater Portland area,” said Jeffrey Monroe, president of the METRO board of directors.
METRO provides more than 800 bus stops located on eight routes. All buses are also equipped with bike racks.
