Resolve to Ride in 2012

If your New Year's resolutions pertain to saving money, getting healthier or being kinder to the planet, add Capital Metro to your to-do list for 2012. If you're already a casual rider, consider upping the ante and riding more frequently. The benefits are considerable:

Save Some Green
Conservatively, you can save a couple hundred bucks a month on gas by taking public transportation instead of driving your car. It costs just $1 per trip on the bus, and buying a multi-ride pass will bring the cost per trip down even more. Calculate your savings. Check out our low fares.

Get Lean
You may not immediately connect public transportation with exercise, but consider that every single transit rider starts and ends as a pedestrian. Think about it: you walk (or bike) to your stop, and on the tail end, you walk (or bike) to your destination. Over time that walking adds up to pounds and inches.

Go Green
Recycling is great, but if you're ready to take it to the next level, ride Capital Metro. Taking public transportation instead of driving your own car is the single greatest action you can take to reduce your carbon footprint. Calculate your carbon savings by riding public transportation.

If you're not familiar with everything Capital Metro has to offer, the links below will guide you through the basics. We encourage new riders to visit our handy online trip planner and type where you are and where you want to go via transit. The trip planner will provide route and schedule information for your specific addresses.
