City buses in Greater Fall River and New Bedford will keep the good times rolling, by collecting no fares for another year.

SRTA announced Monday, July 21, that its fixed-route buses and demand response vans will be fare-free until June 30, 2026.

The Southeastern Regional Transit Authority, which runs bus service throughout 10 communities in the SouthCoast, has not charged fares since Jan. 1, 2024. Originally due to expire June 30, the fare-free experiment was extended temporarily until Aug. 30 and again until the end of fiscal 2026 — funded by the state's "millionaire's tax" or Fair Share Amendment.

The voter-approved amendment is a 4% surtax on personal incomes above $1 million, with the funding used exclusively for education and transportation.
