Free rides are being offered Tuesday on all Los Angeles Metro busses and trains to allow people to get out to vote on Election Day.
The free rides will run from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 3, according to a news release form the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Metro is also offering 30 minutes of free riding time on its Bike Share program on Election Day. The rate will be $1.75 per 30 minutes thereafter, according to the news release.
