City of Eau Claire issued the following announcement on June 4.
Due to the excessive heat expected to impact Eau Claire this weekend, the Transit department is waiving fare requirements for passengers on Saturday, June 5, 2021. Passengers will be able to use the air-conditioned buses instead of risking heat-related health conditions without concern of the cost.
Passengers will still be required to wear a mask while on the bus and maintain proper physical distancing measures.
All 22 buses in the fleet are accessible to individuals using mobility devices and “kneel” so they are level with the curb for those who otherwise may have difficulty boarding. And all buses have bike racks for those who include bicycling in their transportation plan.
Try the bus! Visit www.ecbus.org to plan a route, view maps and schedules, see the live “bus tracker”, and more. Or if you’re new to public transportation call the Eau Claire Transit office at (715) 839-5111 for personalized help planning your trip.
