Public transit

A fast and easy commute

Public transit is good for your wallet and for the environment.

Let someone else take care of the driving while you read, relax, or catch up on work. Taking transit also helps to alleviate traffic during rush hour, as it takes 80 cars to transport 120 people but only one public transit bus or two regular buses. In rush hour, a single 40-foot bus can replace at least 46 cars. This has great environmental benefit by reducing emissions.
