SAN ANTONIO (May 12, 2016) — VIA Metropolitan Transit is proud to work with Advanced Dental Associates (ADA) as they sponsor complimentary bus rides for local residents to and from the “Free Dental Clinic” on Saturday, May 14, 2016, at the ADA offices, 16131 Nacogdoches Road.
The sponsored service applies to trips on VIA’s regular bus lines. When boarding, riders need only inform the bus operator that they are attending the Free Dental Clinic in order to ride without charge.

Patients will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis with the first 200 patients guaranteed to be seen. The Free Dental Clinic begins at 7:30 a.m.
