My VTA

Why I Ride: It helps me keep healthy!

erry Firma here, and for those who don’t know me, I am the “STARRRR” in the “Healthier Planet, Healthier You” public education campaign, spreading the word about how adopting “A Low Car-b diet” helps both the environment and all of us living in the beautiful Bay Area.

I love riding VTA bus and light rail; to work, to the ball park, wherever I go! When I started riding public transit, I was surprised by how much better I began to feel. When you take public transit like me, you can sit back and relax; it’s just a lot less stressful than being out there driving in all the congestion. And walking to the bus stop every day is good exercise! Everyone knows riding the bus can save you money, but who knew riding the bus could help me lose weight?

If you haven’t already seen my ‘Healthier Planet, Healthier You’ webpage, check it out at http://www.healthierplanethealthieryou.com. C U L8R, maybe on the bus!
