Thursday (July 9) is Central Arkansas Transit Authority’s Ride the Bus to Work for Free Day. All day long central Arkansans can take the bus free of charge.

We have to admit CATA’s executive director Betty Wineland makes a compelling argument for taking them up on this offer.

“When you ride the bus, not only are you taking a step toward ‘green’ living, you’re also getting back part of your day for other activities.  While our drivers navigate rush hour traffic, our riders are working, listening to their iPods, making phone calls, reading, knitting, you name it,” Wineland said.  “Put simply, the CATA bus service is convenient, easy and cost-efficient, and you can use it seven days a week.” (She said that in a press release. I didn’t actually talk to her… She’s a busy woman.)

So, take advantage of this once-in-a-year opportunity on Thursday. And don’t forget your knitting!
