New Year, New Intentions: Give Broward County Transit A Try

Small Changes Can Lead To Big Wins

December 30, 2024

Another January rolls in, and with it, the familiar promises: "This is the year I'll get fit, save money, and reduce stress." But let's be honest, 80% of New Year's resolutions fall flat by February. Gym memberships gather dust, healthy habits fade, and those ambitious goals? Life simply gets in the way.

This year, instead of overwhelming yourself with drastic changes, consider a simple, impactful, and surprisingly refreshing shift: try public transit. Whether it's a new way to commute, run errands, or explore Broward County, transit isn't just about getting from point A to point B, it's about transforming your daily routine, one ride at a time.

Unleash Your Inner Mover: Health You Can Feel
In 2025, add to your gym membership with a sprinkle of pre-gym exercise to the bus stop! Walking to and from your stop, transferring routes, or strolling to your final destination seamlessly integrates movement into your day. Studies show that just 15-30 minutes of daily walking can significantly improve heart health, lower stress levels, and boost your overall well-being. So, why not take that walk to the bus stop!

And let's talk about stress relief. Instead of battling traffic, use your transit time to recharge. Catch up on a podcast, read a book, or simply enjoy the scenery. Your commute can become your daily reset.

Your Wallet Will Thank You
Let's face it: driving costs a fortune. Gas prices, parking fees, and car maintenance eat away at your budget. But here's the good news: choosing transit even a few times a week can significantly reduce your expenses. BCT's affordable fares and passes are designed with your wallet in mind, offering a reliable and stress-free alternative to driving.

The American Public Transportation Association's (APTA) Transit Savings Report states that people can save up to $13,000 annually by taking public transit instead of driving. Imagine starting 2025 with a resolution that actually saves you money!

Good for You, Even Better for the Planet
Public transit is one of the most eco-friendly travel options available. By choosing the bus over your car in 2025, you reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to cleaner air in Broward County. Every bus trip removes multiple cars from the road, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and easing traffic congestion.

Think of it this way: your small choice to take the bus isn't just good for you – it's a positive contribution to your community. Join thousands of others in taking a step towards a greener, healthier future.

Just Try It: Small Steps, Lasting Change
We understand that new routines can feel daunting. Start small – try taking the bus just once a week. Use it for your Friday commute, a trip to the park, or a visit to your favorite weekend spot.

You will be surprised at how quickly you adjust. Less stress, more savings, a healthier you, and a healthier planet – what's not to love? Make 2025 the year you stick to a simple, practical, and rewarding resolution like trying transit.
