Ride Omnitrans Free with Mobile Fares to Celebrate Earth Day 2021!

April 8, 2021

Ride Omnitrans free for cleaner air in honor of Earth Day this Thursday, April 22nd! Using the Transit app for mobile fare, all app users will receive free fares for the day to encourage going paperless and using public transit to reduce car emissions.

To take advantage of the free mobile fares on Earth Day:

  • Download, or open if you already have it, the free Transit app on your smartphone.
  • At the bottom of the screen, beside the Omnitrans logo, click on BUY TICKETS.
  • You will see a notification stating that your fare is not required in honor of Earth Day.
  • Show this to your driver when boarding and enjoy your ride. (If you close out of the screen, tap the Buy Tickets button again if riding more than one bus.)

Offer valid for new or existing Transit app users. This offer is also available for users of the Token Transit mobile app. Offer valid only on Thursday, April 22, 2021 for paperless, mobile fare users in honor of Earth Day.

Sustainability and clean air are some of Omnitrans’ core values, and we are proud to have bolstered our efforts toward this cause by retrofitting 58 buses with near-zero emission engines since the end of last year, bringing our total to 106 coaches with near-zero emission engines. This means that the new engines on these buses extend their life, and significantly eliminate emissions to nearly zero. Omnitrans already operates a fully compressed natural gas (CNG) fleet, which is much cleaner than diesel. All of this contributes to cleaner air for healthier communities in the San Bernardino County area.

Additionally, work is well underway to release our first four zero emission buses into service in the coming weeks! These 100% electric, battery-operated buses are the first of many, as Omnitrans works to transition to a fully zero-emission fleet by the year 2040 along with all other transit agencies in California.

Riding the bus is just one way to go green. Check out Ten Simple Things You Can Do to Help Protect the Earth for more easy ways to make an impact this Earth Day and every other day. Thank you for doing your part to contribute to a brighter environmental future for our local communities and beyond!

    1. Totally understand, Jesus. In the spirit of Earth Week, we wanted to promote paperless fare using the Transit app. We look forward to other promotions in the future that you may be able to participate in.
