The City of Lafayette will be offering free bus rides for the upcoming holiday shopping weekend.

Lafayette Transit System says its "No Pay Bus Day" on November 25 & 26 is in recognition of Black Friday and Small Business Saturday.

Lafayette Mayor-President Joel Robideaux says the promotion applies to all three transit services -- daytime, night owl and para-transit.

The hope of the promotion is to help alleviate road congestion over the busy shopping weekend. And Robideaux says it's also a good way to attract new riders.

Give it a try!
