MORGANTOWN, WV- Public transit systems around the state will offer riders some financial relief in honor of the state’s 150th birthday celebration by reducing their rates for a day.

Mountain Line Transit is offering $1.50 fares to ride unlimited all day on Thursday June 20, 2013 on any of the local routes. Normal fare is 75 cents per trip.

During this special celebration, the Mountain Line Transit encourages everyone to take advantage of the reduced rates and hop a bus!
