Dump the Pump
by GoComicsIt's Dump the Pump Day!
"Dump the Pump" refers to ditching your car and hopping on public transportation for the day. The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) has proved public transportation systems better cities in a lot of ways. Using public transportation saves money on fuel, lessens fuel use and traffic congestion, adds to community growth and revitalization and reduces carbon footprint. The list goes on ...
Community development
Daily life can get busy, leaving little time to interact with others. It's important for us to interact with people unlike ourselves, and those outside our circle. It gives us a bigger picture and appreciation for other humans in general.
Convenience + reliability
Public transportation can be our savior in a time of need. Car broken? Stolen? Nonexistent? Great! Builds character.
Go green!
By taking public transportation, you can help make the world a little more green. Do your part!
Public transportation is an adventure.
It adds value to your city and your experiences. Plus, you never know who you'll run into.
See you on the bus!
