I Love Transit: Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe is October 5–9! Since 2009, we have shared interesting stories celebrating our riders, transit enthusiasts and all the things we love about transit over the course of a special week dedicated to just that, our love of transit! As part of it, students in kindergarten through Grade 12 ride the bus for free during the week.

In keeping with tradition, we’ll have a host of awesome opportunities for this exciting week. Here’s what’s in store for K-12 teachers and parents (below) and everyone else:
