May 7, 2013 - Bismarck, N.D. – We’ve all heard the song “School’s Out for Summer.” Students everywhere will be singing it as the school doors close behind them and they leave for that final time this May. The next question is – Now what? Older students may have summer jobs, take in the occasional movie or just hang out at the mall. While younger one’s may want to go to the zoo, hang out at a friend’s house or swim at the pool.
Capital Area Transit, better known as the CAT Bus, is making it easier for students who just completed Kindergarten through 12th grade to get around town…no matter what they choose to do this summer. The student summer pass is just $20 and it provides students unlimited CAT rides from Memorial Day (May 27, 2013) through Labor Day (September 2, 2013).
“Taking the CAT makes it easy for students to get around the Bismarck/Mandan area in a safe, reliable and timely manner. The student summer pass just makes it that much more affordable.” Said Robin Werre, Transit Director. “We hope they will use the summer pass to learn how to independently navigate the area and see how public transportation works.”
Student summer passes may be purchased now at the Bis-Man Transit office at 3750 East Rosser Avenue or by calling 258-6817; or beginning May 27th from any CAT bus driver.
