With gas, rent and food costs rising, people are seeking alternative ways to get to work, school or wherever life takes them. There are options for those traveling north to south across South Florida and we are here to help you. Take note of these three ways to say no to higher gas prices:
#1 Work from home—more and more people have transitioned to telecommuting. This new mode of work clearly saves money on fuel costs and car maintenance repairs. If your job allows it, then enjoy the comfort of your own home while you work. Your wallet will thank you.
#2 Carpool—Sharing the ride can ease the cost of your commute. With this option, some households can choose to only have one car versus two. See if someone at work or from your neighborhood is interested, as most likely there are others who would gladly like to save a buck or two. You might even make a new friend or two.
#3 Ride Tri-Rail– With higher gas prices, more than 11,000 commuters are riding the train to work, school, major airports and other destinations daily. There’s free parking at 18 train stations, free Wi-Fi, bike racks, luggage racks and worktables. It’s the best deal in town with weekday fares as low as about $5 a day with Tri-Rail’s Employer Discount Program. Weekends you can ride anywhere and all day for just $5.
And now at select train stations, Tri-Rail riders can access FREE taxi and Uber connections. Simply arrive at your station, use the app to connect with the best ride option and travel to your destination located within a designated service area. It’s simple to do and it makes riding the train even better.
Taking advantage of this option also helps to eliminate the need for families to have two cars, and it’s a great way to make new friends on board. Get more details about train schedules, station locations and fares at www.tri-rail.com
