Transit is a Lucky Charm
Who Wants Gold?
The bi-state region is fortunate to have access to a safe, integrated public transit system, but the luck doesn’t stop there. On Friday, March 14 – just a few days prior to St. Patrick’s Day – the St. Clair County Transit District (SCCTD), in conjunction with Citizens for Modern Transit (CMT) and Metro Transit, have the golden opportunity to surprise and delight transit riders as part of an effort called “Transit is a Lucky Charm.”
Throughout the morning commute that day, a likeable leprechaun will be onboard select buses and trains handing out golden transit tickets with free transit passes enclosed. There will also be “pots o’ gold” hidden in plain sight throughout the system. These pots will be filled with gold-coin chocolates, free transit passes, a t-shirt and other prizes. If a transit rider finds one, they can grab it and enjoy.
“Top of the morning to You” street teams will be at select Metro Transit centers from 6 to 7:30 a.m. distributing Lucky Charms cereal bars. Each will have a sticker on it to encourage transit riders to register for CMT’s FREE Guaranteed Ride Home program and be on the lookout for the leprechaun and pots o’ gold.
This is part of CMT, SCCTD and Metro Transit’s ongoing efforts to interact with riders, strengthen relationships and reinforce their collective commitment to a safe, comfortable, customer-focused transit experience.
