Transit: A Stress-Free Commute

Why Take Transit?

Public transit is the most efficient way to connect commuters to their final destination. Traveling by bus or rail is not only budget friendly, but also benefits the environment and improves air quality! According to a study done by the City of Copenhagen, commuters who use public transit get more daily physical activity than those who commute by car because of walking to and from transit stations.
