Jonesboro, AR — (JonesboroRightNow.com) — April 25, 2025 — Jonesboro Economical Transportation (JET) is providing complimentary rides on all four of its regular routes on Friday, April 25, in honor of Social Justice and Equality Day.
JET Marketing Coordinator Shelly Anderson said that this was something that has been done for years.
“It’s just something that we’ve done. It’s like we do free rides for Election Day and Tax-Free Shopping Day before school starts, and then there are a few others,” Anderson said. “Those two are the biggest, obviously, but we have done Social Justice and Equality Day for a while.”
“It just kind of gives everybody a day of relaxation, not having to think about ‘Can I come up with the money to get to the store or the doctor’s appointment,’ she said. “It’s a really great thing for our community to be able to have a few days a year that they can count on us to get them where they need to go.”
Buses stop running at the regular hour of 7 p.m.
