Humboldt Transit Authority launched a new online store that
allows transit passengers to purchase transit passes for Redwood
Transit System, Eureka Transit Service, and Arcata & Mad River
Transit System online using their credit card at
www.hta.org.
31-day unlimited passes for Eureka Transit Service, Redwood Transit
System (RTS) mainline routes, and RTS service to Willow Creek are sold
via the online store, as well as $10 and $20 value regional transit
passes, which allow passengers to ride on any route of the three major
bus systems at a reduced rate.
The online store launched shortly after new electronic fareboxes were installed on transit buses in the Humboldt County region.
"There
are many great reasons to ride local public transportation," says
Neleen Fregoso HTA General Manager. "With increasing gas costs, it
saves riders money and helps keep money in our local economy. Also,
the National Safety Council has found bus transit is 25 times safer per
mile than traveling in a car."
The store was launched by Trillium Transit Internet Solutions (
www.trilliumtransit.com).
