Following a rough week for the REM, the transit service has announced that free rides will be available during rush hour from Monday, February 24, to Friday, February 28.
Passengers can ride for free between 5:30 AM and 10 AM, as well as between 3 PM and 8 PM. During these hours, trains are expected to run every 10 minutes.
Outside of these hours, the REM will be closed for maintenance. However, shuttle buses—720, 721, 722, and 568—will continue running and will also be free.
