This week for Ride Transit Month, it’s Transit Operator Appreciation Week! Our bus, train, ferry, and streetcar operators get us safely where we need to go every day, through snowstorms and road closures.
This week, we want to say thanks to all the transit operators who keep our communities moving. Don’t forget to thank them today (and every day) on your commute!
Tag #RideTransit and win!
There is another opportunity for you to win this week. Give a shoutout to your transit operator and win. Just tag #RideTransit, include your route number, and tell us what makes them special on Twitter or Facebook to be entered to win prizes!
? BONUS: Snap a selfie with your favorite transit operator! ?
