SamTrans’ Summer Youth Pass - known as MyPass - is now on sale. The pass, which is available to kids 17 and younger, allows unlimited rides on SamTrans buses all summer long for only $35 – less than the cost of a tank of gas. The 2008 My Pass is good for travel through Aug. 31.
The MyPass is a win-win for kids and parents. Learning to use public transportation teaches kids important life-skills such as how to read a map, plan a social outing and make the best use of their time. And, parents get a vacation from driving the neighborhood carpool.
With a MyPass, there is no need to keep correct change on hand. Even after a trip to the mall, kids still have a safe ride home. The colorful plastic flash-pass can be carried in a wallet or back pack or attached to a key ring.
