Waco Transit is offering free rides to people who are casting their ballot on Nov. 6.

Voters will have to present a voter registration card or the "I voted" sticker to ride the bus for free. 

The program applies for fixed routes running from 5:15 a.m. to 7:15 p.m. on election day.

"We are excited to help do our part this year and again this is a pilot program. We are hoping if this is successful that we will be able to do this for years to come," Waco Transit System Allen Hunter said. 

Uber and Lyft also announced free and discounted rides to the polls.
