Columbia Transit's Downtown Orbiter pass promotion
								
	(COLUMBIA, MO) - Columbia Transit passengers are still
discovering the wide variety of merchants they can reach by riding the
Downtown Orbiter route. To help them get acquainted, Columbia Transit
has partnered with businesses along the route to offer discounts to
Columbia Transit monthly and student semester bus pass holders.  
	Beginning in February, each month a different merchant will
offer a special discount to monthly and student semester pass holders.
Passengers will need to show their bus pass to receive the discount.
February's participating merchant is McDonalds on Lowry Mall at the
University of Missouri campus. Pass holders who show their monthly or
student semester bus pass will receive a free small hot chocolate with
the purchase of two hamburgers or two cheeseburgers. In March, just in
time for the beginning of biking season, Walt's Bike and Fitness Shop
will offer a discount on a spring bike tune-up. Pass holders should be
on the lookout for future offers. The promotion continues through June
2005.
	Spring semester student bus passes are on sale now and are good
from Jan. 1 to May 15, 2005. They cost only $45. Monthly bus passes are
good for the entire month and go on sale the last week of the previous
month. A full fare pass is $20; a half fare pass, for those who qualify,
is $10.  
	Details are available by calling (573) 874-7282 and on the
Columbia Transit Web site at www.GoColumbiaMo.com (GoBus).
