I was on a trip into SF to pick up my dad and sister from SFO and i noticed a big electronic billboard saying that tomorrow, (today as i write this now) is Spare the Air Day in SF. In an effort to do their part ecowise, the city of San Francisco is making all public transport completely FREE. Not only does this in itself cut down on emissions and reduce the use of oil and create less smog, but it may help to introduce some people to the benefits of public transportation, and hopefully encourage them to use it in the future. this could be the start of many new habits for commuters everywhere.
I for one, am all for it. So tomorrow, if you happen to live in the city. Take some public transportation. MuniBus and light rail systems will be free all day. While utilities like BART, AirBART, CALtrail, ACE train, Amtrack Capitol Corridor trains and the local Ferries will be free until 12 o’clock noon. Whenever i go to the city i prefer to take the public transportation system, avoid the fares on the bridges as well as help the environment. Every little bit helps. Or so i like to tell myself. Besides driving in the city can be a hassle sometimes. And public transport just makes things so simple.
