Kids Ride FREE! May 1st through August 31st

TOPEKA, KS (April 15, 2026) -- Kids Ride FREE is back!

Starting Friday, May 1 through Monday, August 31, youth ages 18 and under can ride Topeka Metro fixed-route buses at no cost—all summer long! (That’s 13 years of free rides and counting!)

Children under 5 must ride with an adult, family member, or babysitter, and teens may be asked to show proof of age when boarding.

From summer school and jobs to pools, libraries, movies, malls, and hanging out with friends—getting around town is safe, easy, and reliable with Topeka Metro.

Hop on and enjoy the ride—we’ll see you this summer!
