Gas prices are slowly falling, yet St Joseph Transit is once again offering free rides on National Dump the Pump Day this Thursday.

Bus transportation service, “The Ride,” will offer free rides Thursday on regular route’s in St Joseph.

Route deviations will cost 50cents. Dump the Pump day started in 2006 encouraging people to ride public transportation to save money.

The American Public Transportation Association reports individuals in a two-person household can save an average of more than $9,700 annually by downsizing to one car.
