MATBUS

Happy Veterans Day! All routes are running as usual today, except NDSU campus routes 31, 33, 34 and On-Demand. As a reminder, veterans ride free on fixed routes all year long (with a valid ID). Thank you to all who have served ❤️

Last week, we had the opportunity to welcome juniors from Fargo South High School. They got tours of our buildings, rode the bus, & heard about transit careers from multiple perspectives - management, trainer, driver, dispatch, and shop. Thanks for being a great audience, Bruins!

The November Driver of the Month is Chris B! 🥳 While he's new to MATBUS, he's not new to transit, and has years of driving experience. We're happy to have him on board!

Route Change: Effective Nov. 30, Route 3 will no longer be traveling through the Cash Wise parking lot. Full details are on our website, and an updated map and timetable will be shared soon. ow.ly/w9665103ztJ

Are you planning to vote in person tomorrow? Just tell the driver when you board, and your trips to and from the polls are FREE! Visit our website for a list of all the voting locations within 2-3 blocks of a bus stop. ow.ly/O5ZI51039f5

Today, we have FREE freshly popped popcorn and bottled water at our downtown hub until 6:00pm. Free rides are also happening for Try MATBUS Week through tomorrow, so now is a great time to hop on board! ow.ly/Msnf5102yev

Next week is Try MATBUS Week! We'll have FREE rides on fixed route buses Monday-Saturday, so it's a great time to give public transit a try. Experienced rider? Bring a friend! Visit our news post for all the details. ow.ly/EwLC5100Fcu

The MATBUS Paratransit app will have a new look soon! The name and logo of the app will be changing to MATBUS Flex. Current para app users can still manage their rides the same way -- the icon will just change on your phone during its next update.

Rider Info: We are planning an upcoming study that will address current Route 2 delays, as well as overall system improvements. In the meantime, we suggest taking an earlier trip when possible and checking ridematbus.com for real-time bus tracking and arrivals.

Happy Labor Day! Thank you to all the hardworking people that help keep our community - and bus service - running. 🤗 Buses will be back on the road tomorrow as normal.

Thank you to our September Driver of the Month - Carrie! 🥳 We're grateful for your years of experience that help keep MATBUS on the move 🚍

There will be no MATBUS service on Monday for the Labor Day holiday. This includes all fixed routes and MAT Paratransit. Service will resume on Tuesday.

💚💛 NDSU students: We'll be at the main Transit Hub (next to Dinan) until 1:30pm today, answering all your questions about MATBUS. There are also giveaways and a prize drawing. See you there! 💛💚

It's almost time for classes to start! If you're a student at @NDSU, @MSUMoorhead, @Concordia_MN or @MStateCollege you can ride every MATBUS fixed route for FREE. Get to know a new city, and save money on gas and car maintenance! Learn more on our website: ow.ly/lHSg50ZCVE3

Today is the first day that our downtown hub will be operating from a new location - 222 4th St N. All route parking locations will be marked with signage, and staff will also be available to help with transfers. ow.ly/Jjxx50ZzyQL

Reminder: All fixed route buses are FARE FREE today! There will be no in-person sales at the GTC while technology setups are moving to the new location. For more on the relocation, visit our news post: ow.ly/Ak3x50ZzyvG

Due to continued structural concerns, the MATBUS downtown hub will be relocating, effective Monday 8/17. This Saturday, sales will be unavailable while tech systems are transferred, so fixed route will be FARE FREE all day. More info on our website: ow.ly/AGvg50ZztKF

UPDATE: Electrical power has been restored to the GTC. Phones are back in operation, and in-person transactions can take place once again.
