The gift of free rides to get out and about in a different way, save some gas and connect with others in the city during this busy shopping season.
MANCHESTER, NH — Mayor Joyce Craig and the Manchester Transit Authority (MTA) are pleased to announce from December 18 to December 24, all stops along Route 8 will be offered free of charge.
“The Mall of New Hampshire, the businesses along South Willow Street and downtown Manchester are all wonderful places to do some holiday shopping,” said Craig. “By eliminating the bus fares on Route 8 until December 24th, we’re hoping to give people a stress-free holiday experience in great shopping areas across our city.”
MTA Route 8 makes six regular loop stops — the Downtown Manchester Doubletree Hotel, Michaels/Burlington Coat Factory Plaza on South Willow Street, Walmart on Gold Street, the Mall of New Hampshire, South Willow Street and Weston Road, and Downtown Manchester.
