The Benefits of Public Transportation

Ensures Safety Riding a bus is 91 times safer than car travel (in the US). Transit vehicle operators are highly trained to anticipate and avoid problems. Most transit vehicles are larger, newer and more substantial than autos or vans.

Saves Money According to AAA, the estimated cost of driving a single-occupant vehicle is between $4,826 and $9,685, depending upon size and mileage. By contrast, the annual average cost for public transportation for one adult ranges from $200 to $2,000.

Eases Traffic Congestion Public transportation helps to alleviate roads by providing transportation choices.

Improves Air Quality Public transportation helps promote cleaner air by reducing automobile use, which can exacerbate smog and public health problems. For each mile traveled, fewer pollutants are emitted by transit vehicles than by a single-passenger automobile. (Buses emit 80 percent less carbon monoxide than a car.)

Reduces Energy Consumption Public transportation can significantly reduce dependency on gasoline

For these reasons we encourage you to take public transport with a special discount on our prices - except on holidays, chol hamoed and in summer season
