Park & Ride
I was thinking about what to say about the Park & Ride system for today's post (post number 99 of my series 100 wonderful reasons to love the Saint Cloud area) this morning. Funny thing is there is not a whole lot to really say about the set up. It is a great way to save on gas, you can get some work done while riding instead of driving and the system is really very simple.
If you work in the Twin Cities and live in one of the surrounding areas of the state you can catch a ride to work by simply driving to one of the Park & Ride lots, parking your car, then catching the bus to the train station in Big Lake, then off to the Cities. In the evening you do the same; in reverse. This saves on traffic congestion, gas usage and carbon output from the vehicles. Parking in the lots is free for people catching the bus, and some of the lots allow for overnight parking. Nice system, easy to use and environmentally friendly. Sometimes short, sweet and to the point is the best way to go!
