Getting around town is now a lot easier and cheaper for San Marcos residents. Travis Tyler has the story in this Bobcat Update.

Many people in San Marcos rely on public transportation. They can't simply hop in their car and head to their destination. It's more complicated than that.

CARTS-San Marcos, now known as The Bus, has added to its fleet to carry more passengers, offer new routes, and provide a more cost-efficient way to travel about town.

The five new buses each come with 29 seats and free Wi-Fi. They run on ultra-clean diesel, which is better for the environment and may prolong the use of the buses.

Coinciding with the launch, CARTS is sponsoring The Bus Contest. To enter, riders are required to like Carts-San Marcos on Facebook and post a picture on the bus or one of the bus stops with the hashtag S-M-T-X the bus. The contest ends on October 19th. The winner will receive a 30-dollar bus pass and a 20-dollar gift card to Outback Steakhouse.

Bus rides cost one dollar for a one-way fare, two dollars for a daily pass and 30 dollars for a monthly pass. If you're a Texas State student, the trip is free with student identification. Fare is half-off for seniors 65 and up, for persons with disabilities and for students in elementary or high school if they have an I-D for verification.
Stand-up – So if you're looking for a cost efficient and environmentally friendly way to travel, The Bus will get you from point a to point b. For Bobcat Update, im Travis Tyler.
