Ever thought, “I really want to try riding the bus someday”—but it just hasn’t happened yet? Well, your someday is here!
Join Valley Regional Transit for a hands-on Learn to Ride event on Tuesday, October 28th, from 5–7 PM.
We’ll meet at Boise Towne Square Mall’s Park & Ride lot (just north of Dillard’s) at 5 PM, hop on Route 7 at 5:15 PM, and take a guided ride downtown to Main Street Station. There, we’ll enjoy a 30-minute behind-the-scenes tour of Boise’s underground transit hub before catching Route 29 back to the mall, arriving around 6:40 PM.
Along the way, you’ll learn how to:
Plan your trip using VRT’s tools
Read route maps and schedules
Track your bus in real time
Pay your fare using the Umo Mobility app
Whether you’re brand new to transit or just curious how it all works, this event is a great (and fun!) way to explore Boise by bus.
