On June 18, Knoxville Area Transit (KAT) is offering “Try Transit Day” – an opportunity to hop on the bus and enjoy a relaxing ride into work. KAT staff will be at locations north and west from 7-9 a.m. to show new riders just how easy taking transit can be.

Staffers will be answering questions, helping people to plan their routes and handing out various giveaway items.   KAT staff will be at the west-side Superstop on Walbrook Drive in front of Wal Mart as well as at the Fountain City Superstop near Kroger, just off of Knox Road between Maple Drive and Fair Drive.

KAT also is encouraging current riders to bring a friend who’s never tried transit. Win a free bus pass by posting a photo of the ride on KAT’s Facebook page or Twitter feed!
