Smart Riders. Big Savers.

Riding the bus can save you a great deal of money. But today, more people are looking for even more ways to save. Here are a few suggestions of things you can do that can make a difference in your financial favor. But we know that being a smart rider, you have ways to save and we’d like you to share them here for other riders to see and benefit from.

Suggestions:

  • Ride the bus instead of driving.
  • Plan your meals weekly according to what is on sale.
  • Use the library to check out books, audio books, music and video games. You won’t spend any money, and the library is probably on your bus route.
  • Unplug any electrical items that you are not using. Even if they are not turned on, they are using electricity.
  • Take your lunch to work and avoid the vending machines.
  • Limit your trips to restaurants and don’t order appetizers or dessert.
  • Install energy-efficient light bulbs.
