Ride the fixed bus routes for FREE all day long on Thursday, April 22 in celebration of Earth Day 2010. Help us conserve fuel, preserve our air quality and reduce road congestion by riding the bus.

The Macatawa Area Express (MAX), the public transit system for the greater Holland/Zeeland area, will offer free rides on its eight fixed bus routes on Earth Day, Thursday, April 22.

This will be the eighth year that the MAX Transportation Authority has approved free rides on Earth Day to encourage more residents to ride the bus to help reduce vehicle emissions that create ground level ozone. MAX also gives free fixed route bus rides on all designated Clean Air Action Days, when particulate matter levels are high.

Seniors and ADA eligible passengers already ride the fixed routes for free everyday. The normal one-way fare for adult passengers is $1 and half price for children ages 5-17.
MAX also will be distributing Earth Day bumper stickers (“My other car is a MAX bus”) and “Save the Planet-Ride the Bus” promotional buttons on all of its fixed route buses.

MAX is giving FREE rides on all 8 fixed bus routes for everyone on Tuesday, May 4 for Election Day. MAX wants to encourage people to get to the polls and vote. Drivers will not question you on your destination and you are free to ride the bus to wherever you choose to go. Help save the plant and exercise your right to vote today, May 4.
