Veterans and active-duty military Rride CARTA, TriCounty Link for free on Veterans Day
November 6, 2017
CHARLESTON, SC – Veterans and current military personnel can ride Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority and TriCounty Link services for free on Veterans Day, Saturday, Nov. 11.
“Veterans and military personnel make great sacrifices for our country. Allowing them to ride for free on Veterans Day is a small way that CARTA and TriCounty Link can say thank you,” said CARTA Board Chairman Mike Seekings.
A military ID, service photo, a memento – such as a veterans cap – or other similar items will be enough to get veterans and current military on board at no cost.
“We really want this to be easy for passengers and drivers, and we trust that people won’t take advantage of an attempt to honor our veterans,” Seekings said.
