All rides aboard the Bristol Tennessee Transit will be free that day and, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., an appreciation event will be held at Downtown Center featuring hotdogs and hamburgers, door prizes, and live music by Thomas Taylor.
The Bristol Tennessee Transit offers fixed-route service from 6:15 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. The cost is 60 cents for adults, but discounts are available for seniors and those with disabilities. Children under 6 ride for free.
