San Antonio's VIA offering fare-free rides Wednesday in honor of Rosa Parks
VIA Metropolitan Transit riders will have access to free bus rides all day this Wednesday in celebration of civil rights leader Rosa Parks' defiant stand in Montgomery, Alabama, 69 years ago. The VIA Board of Trustees in 2019 approved a resolution to commemorate Parks' contributions to the Civil Rights Movement every Dec. 1, the anniversary of her 1955 arrest for refusing to give up her bus seat for to a white man. Because the date fell on a Sunday this year, VIA opted to celebrate Wednesday. The free-fare offer pertains to all VIA transit options.
