The Ann Arbor (MI) Area Transportation Authority (TheRide), Ann Arbor District Library (AADL), and Ypsilanti District Library (YDL) are partnering again this summer to provide Free Ride Weekends. This is in coordination with the AADL Summer Game and the YDL Summer Challenge.

Every Saturday and Sunday from June 14 to August 24, library card holders can ride any of TheRide local fixed-route buses for free. All they need to do is show the driver their valid Ann Arbor District Library card or valid Ypsilanti District Library card when boarding the bus.

“While riding, look for codes to earn points during the games. The AADL Summer Game code sign inside the bus has a code to earn 1,000 points, which can be used to earn awesome Summer Game shop prizes,” according to a press release. “Each bus has the same code inside, so it’s easy to find! When you see the code, visit play.aadl.org, enter the code, and get 1,000 points. The YDL Summer Challenge code sign earns you a badge and points you can put toward a prize. Visit YpsiLibary.org/Summer for more details.”

TheRide and AADL have created fun ways to get even more Summer Game prizes:

• Find a Summer Game code on AADL ads on the outside of several buses for 500 points.
• Starting June 13, find a Summer Game code hidden on TheRide.org. Click the “About” tab and select “News” to learn more about TheRide’s recent activities and find the Summer Game code for 100 points.

“The AADL Summer Game and YDL Summer Challenge are great ways to enjoy your summer and use TheRide free of charge,” the release added.
