Not just on three routes, but free system-wide. Chapel Hill Transit, also serving Carrboro and UNC. Strongly recommend.

Both the Raleigh and Durham bus systems are currently free for everyone -- through June 2022. That was in response to Covid; don't know if that will be extended for another year. Otherwise, those systems are only free for under 18 and for 65 and older.
