CityBus invites the community to try public transportation with free rides all day Thursday, June 16.
“‘Dump the Pump’ Day is all about the positive benefits of leaving your car at home and using CityBus instead,” said John Metzinger, CityBus manager of development.
“By giving free rides, we’re highlighting the economic positives of using CityBus, especially the savings riders will realize,” Metzinger said. “The national average savings of using public transit instead of owning a car is $10,230 a year. That’s $853 a month in savings available to those who choose to ride CityBus instead of driving.”
“If you’re already a daily rider, this free day is a thank-you,” Metzinger said. “If you usually drive a car for your daily commute, we invite you to take a free ride on Dump the Pump day to experience the full benefits of using CityBus.”
Dump the Pump is a nationwide campaign coordinated by the American Public Transportation Association. Many cities across the
CityBus route information is available at www.gocitybus.com or (765) 742-RIDE, and travel training is available to help new riders learn how to use CityBus.
