Don't Walk - Ride!

Area youth can take the walking out of the summer by purchasing a Sun Metro Summer Fun Pass for only $10. Don't Walk - Ride is this year's theme for the Sun Metro Fun Pass, designed especially for area youth between 6 and 18 years of age.

The program encompasses a specially discounted student pass for unlimited rides on buses and trolleys from Memorial Day (May 29) through Labor Day (September 4) 2006. The cost of the pass is $10.00, a $50.00 savings compared to a regular monthly student pass of $20.00. Included with the pass are discounts and chances to win free gifts from area merchants. A parent or guardian is invited to ride with the child for free with a Parent/Guardian ID card.

The Sun Metro Fun Pass requires purchasers to have a Sun Metro Student ID. For those individuals who do not have a current Sun Metro Student ID card, they can pick one up free of charge at the ticket office located at the Union Plaza Transit Terminal at 400 San Antonio, Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For those who already have a valid Sun Metro ID card, the Fun Pass can be purchased at the Plaza Station located at 333 Oregon or at the Eastside Terminal at 1165 Sunmount starting May 23, 2006. Proof of age is required.
