Squatch the Fare This Summer: Ride FREE!
Busquatch is Back and He’s Squatching Fares
This summer, Busquatch is on a mission. He’s tired of high gas prices and the idea that you have to own a car to get around Humboldt County. So he’s doing what only a giant, transit-loving legend can do: Squatching the fare.
This summer, riding the bus is easier than ever because it’s FREE!
Here’s the Deal
- Everyone rides free all July: Whether you’re headed to work, the beach, the farmers’ market, or just out exploring Humboldt’s hidden gems, get on board. No wallet needed.
- Youth (17 & under) and Seniors (62+) ride free June 1 – August 31: Summer jobs, trips with friends, grandkid adventures—it’s all easier when the bus is free. You may be asked to show ID.
No passes. No hassle. Just hop on and go.
