Try MATBUS Week takes place October 26-31, and is a fun and interactive opportunity for residents of the Fargo-Moorhead community to experience all the benefits that MATBUS has to offer. There will be several special offers and events during the week to encourage residents to try out MATBUS services and join passengers who take nearly 2 million rides per year.
For the entire week, all rides are FREE on MATBUS fixed routes. This promotional fare will not apply to MAT Paratransit.
Multiple rider giveaways are scheduled at the new downtown Fargo hub location at 222 4th St. N. On Tuesday, October 27, MATBUS staff will distribute reusable shopping totes. Wednesday, October 28, is Warm-Up Wednesday, and hot cider and donuts will be available in the lobby from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Touchscreen-compatible gloves will be given out on Thursday, October 29. On Friday, October 30, freshly popped popcorn and bottled water will be set up in the lobby from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Saturday, October 31, Halloween candy will be set out on fixed-route vehicles. All giveaways are available while supplies last.
