Rochester, NY: Consistent with the news this week that Governor Andrew Cuomo extended his NYS Pause executive order through April 29, Regional Transit Service (RTS) announced today that the temporary waiving of fares will also be extended through April 29.
RTS initially waved fares on March 19, 2020 to help protect RTS Bus Operators and customers. RTS continues to encourage customers to follow the guidance of elected leaders and health experts by staying home whenever possible and limiting travel to essential rides only. This includes trips to destinations such as the grocery store, pharmacy and medical facilities. RTS also encourages customers to maintain a distance of six feet between each other on the bus, at the RTS Transit Center and at bus stops.
