We heart public transit
Tuesday, April 23, 2019 by Tai Moses
Honestly, is there anything better than public transit? We don’t think so. Everyone in the community gets to share this sustainable method of transportation that reduces nasty pollution and traffic congestion, relieves us of the need to find a parking space and takes us nearly anywhere we want to go. You can show your affection for buses, trains and light rail this Thursday, April 25, for Get on Board Day. Use the Transit app to plan a trip. Take a selfie on Capital Metro and share it on social media using the #GetOnBoard hashtag. Tweet your transit love and ask your friends and family to use public transit and to share their photos, too.
