MATBUS invites Fargo-Moorhead residents and visitors to explore a low-cost transportation solution this holiday season. MATBUS Quarter Days will take place the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving (November 29-30) and every Saturday in December. Riders can board MATBUS fixed route vehicles for only a quarter (25¢) each trip during these high-traffic, prime shopping days.
Route 15 will offer increased service by operating every 15 minutes on Saturdays during Quarter Days, helping riders to get their shopping done faster. MATBUS operates 23 fixed bus routes in the Fargo-Moorhead metro with direct access to many popular retail locations, including West Acres, Downtown Fargo and the Moorhead Center Mall. Shoppers can travel in a warm, heated bus while avoiding holiday headaches like icy roads, busy parking lots and increased traffic.
During each Quarter Day, drawing boxes will be placed on the buses for riders to register for chests of quarters worth $25, to be provided by Midwest Communications. Throughout the promotion, 24 total winners will be randomly selected through Monday, December 30 (four for each Quarter Day).
Riders can plan their MATBUS trips, view routes and detours and check out live bus tracking on the MATBUS website, as well as the MATBUS mobile app (available on Google Play and the Apple Store).
