Try Transit Week starts Monday, and local transit operators will do everything they can to lure passengers onto their buses.
Triangle Transit will have prize drawings all week in a Go Triangle Scavenger Hunt with prize clues distributed to GoTriangle followers on Twitter and Triangle Transit Facebook fans. Prizes include gift cards, mp3 players and Carolina Panthers tickets.
Durham Area Transit Authority, Triangle Transit, Capital Area Transit and Cary’s C-Tran are pitching in to pitch these offers:
Tuesday: Rack & Ride Day. Bike riders ride the bus, with their bikes on the rack, for free.
Wednesday: Stuff the Buses for the Food Bank of Eastern and Central North Carolina. Bring canned food to donate when you ride the bus.
Thursday: Ride for free, all buses, Triangle-wide.
Friday: Operations Appreciation Day. Say thanks to your bus driver and fill out comment cards.
