Free Fare for Juneteenth

Riding Hampton Roads Transit buses, light rail, ferry, paratransit and OnDemand ridesharing will be free on Thursday, June 19, 2025, in commemoration of the federal holiday Juneteenth.

Juneteenth is one of four fare-free days offered by HRT. Election Day (Nov. 4 this year), Transit Equity Day in February, and Earth Day every April are the other days that Hampton Roads residents can try transit at no cost.

Since Juneteenth is a state and federal holiday, HRT bus, light rail and Base Express services will operate on their Saturday schedules. The Elizabeth River Ferry will continue operating on its regular weekday schedule. Transit center information booths and public access to all administrative facilities (ID badge, Lost & Found, etc.) will be closed. HRT’s Customer Service Call Center will be available from 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. by calling (757) 222-6100.
