Metro Is Offering Free Bus And Train Rides Today In Honor Of Bike To Work Day
L.A. Metro's bike-share program is getting cheaper and more convenient as ridership sags and private dockless bikes and scooters multiply.
In honor of Bike Month, Metro is offering free bus and rail rides throughout the day on Thursday, which is designated as Bike to Work Day. The agency will also provide free 30-minute bike rides through its bike share program.
The effort is part of a push to encourage Angelenos to use public transit, including rentable bicycles.
A number of companies and organizations throughout L.A. are participating in Bike to Work Day, including Children's Hospital L.A. and various restaurants in Chinatown, which are partnering with Metro to offer lunch during an hour-long bike ride starting at noon.

To redeem a free Metro bike ride, cyclists can use the code 051922, which is good for multiple rides throughout the day.
