Bus Day Ever – Family Fun Day 🚌🚲🌮

Ready for an adventure around the Treasure Valley? Hop on board with Valley Regional Transit for Bus Day Ever – Family Fun Day, a free community event designed to make riding the bus fun, easy, and approachable for everyone!

Participants can start their adventure at either:

From there, you’ll pick up your clue packet and jump aboard Route 7 Fairview for a self-guided transit scavenger hunt packed with fun stops, learning opportunities, and community exploration along the way.
