Our friends at floridatransit.org have organized a contest that looks to collect stories from transit users around the state. If you have a good transit story, check out the contest details and submit your story!
The association is seeking true stories from Floridians and visitors that benefit from using any of the 28 public transportation systems in Florida. Riders can tell their positive experiences using public transit by submitting a short video, a photo and caption, or a short essay.
The public is invited to be creative and tell FloridaTransit.org what you are doing with all the money you save by taking transit. What are you doing with the time on board relaxing or being productive while your counterparts waste time and stress out in traffic congestion? Are you on board as a green lifestyle choice or as a patriot because transit helps cut America’s addiction to foreign oil by 4.2 billion gallons of gas a year.
