Bus riders can take advantage of the offers by obtaining a “promo receipt” from their bus driver.

Visitors can then present the receipt to zoo or center officials to get the discount when paying for admission.

A $2.7 million annual service enhancement package that went into effect this year is providing the new weekend service to both attractions.

The new service was in response to demands from AC Transit customers. The discounts are available seven days a week and are valid through Aug. 30.
