RTC offers money saving alternative to high gas prices

We knew it was bound to happen somewhere very soon, and on Tuesday it did. Gas prices in San Francisco are up over the $4 a gallon mark, and they're hitting record highs in Las Vegas, too. The Saving You Money Team wants to remind you that there is a cheaper alternative.
More drivers are hanging up their keys for a ride on the bus, and they're using the RTC's web page to help navigate from point A to point B.
The RTC says high gas prices are making the mass transit system more attractive to local drivers. "We expect we're going to see a big increase in ridership over the summer, because the long term forecast for gasoline prices is about 25 cents per gallon higher than last summer. So we know that we're going to be attracting a lot of people," said RTC General Manager, Jacob Snow.
When you look at the dollars and cents, a one month transit pass will only cost you $40; less than a tank of gas for most cars. Maybe it's time to give it a try.
