This Tuesday is Election Day in the United States, and many transit systems will be offering free rides in order to facilitate getting to polling places so constituents can cast their votes.  I’ve seen notices of various agencies providing fare free travel on Election Day in recent years, including Minneapolis in 2014.  Other systems that I am aware of providing fare free travel on Election Day include Ride On, the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority, LA Metro, CapMetro, Knoxville Area Transit, Denver RTD, and the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority.  

Are you aware of other US transit systems that are offering free transit on Election Day?  Does this practice exist in other countries?  Leave a comment if you know the answer to either question.
