Leave your Car at Home on Earth Day

Perhaps it should not be too much to ask to leave your car at home for only a day. During Earth Day, follow the lead of most people who are going to travel or go to work alternatively by taking the bus. It is their way of celebrating Earth Day and one day should not be too much to ask.

People often overlook the fact that public transit and school buses replace a significant number of cars on the road, making them an environmentally sound transportation option. Research shows the typical automobile driver can reduce individual daily carbon emissions by more than 4,800 pounds per year by using public transit.

Today’s buses are more environmentally friendly than ever before thanks to cleaner burning engines, specialized particulate filters and alternative fuels.
