Brownsville Metro is giving back to daily bus riders.

On Thursday, the transit service is offering free rides citywide.

Metro officials say riders can hop on any B Metro bus without a ticket, pass or ID. They said it's their way of thanking the people who depend on the bus system to get around town.

"It provides more ridership because I believe those who have never ridden on a Bville Metro to take the opportunity to hop on because its free and they explore Brownsville," B Metro Grants and Public Outreach Coordinator Victoria De La Llata said.
