Gas prices have increased 28 cents a gallon in the past two weeks, and commuters can find out how much they can save by riding HART. A transit calculator is available at www.publictransportation.org
Rapidly rising gas prices gives the highest savings for public transit riders in two years, according to the American Public Transportation Association. Based on the March 4 average national gas price of $3.47 per gallon that was reported by the AAA and the national unreserved monthly parking rate, riding public transportation saves individuals, on average, $9,904 annually and $825 per month.
A 1-Day Unlimited HARTride Fare Card for $3.75 and 31-Day Unlimited HARTride Fare Card for $60. Ten-Pack and 3-Day bundles are also available, as well as discounts for seniors and youth. For more information about these fares, and schedules for bus routes and express routes, visit www.goHART.org
