MOLINE, Ill. — Local veterans can now travel by bus in the Illinois Quad Cities for free. MetroLINK is offering Veterans Accessibility ID cards which give unlimited free rides for Metro's fixed route system. The card lasts for three years, but can be renewed for free. Transit officials said they worked with the Quad Cities Community Veterans Engagement Board to develop the program. "We understand that transportation is a real need for veterans and being able to access quality affordable transportation is very critical to their well being," MetroLINK manager of administration Jennifer Hirsch said.
