Huntsville Transit offers free rides before new Transit Center opening

Published on August 16, 2024

Huntsville Transit  is offering complimentary rides of all Orbit routes from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 18 and Sunday, Aug. 25.

The public is invited to join transit operators as they practice all service routes from the new Transit Center at 521 Pratt Ave. NW before its opening on Tuesday, Sept. 3.

“This is an excellent opportunity for passengers to familiarize themselves with the new facility, the significant changes planned for routes 2, 5, and 6 and new route 56 to Bailey Cove, serving locations in South Huntsville,” Director of Parking and Public Transit Quisha Bryant said.

Huntsville Transit recommends that riders come to the new Transit Center, take a round trip to familiarize themselves with the routes and return to the Transit Center by 4 p.m.

In addition to the practice sessions in August, all rides with Huntsville Transit will be free in September to celebrate the Transit Center opening.

“We encourage everyone to experience the convenience of the new routing and state-of-the-art transit center,” Mayor Tommy Battle said.
