FREE BREAKFASTS ON CAR FREE DAY
SPT TO GIVE AWAY FREE BREAKFASTS ON CAR FREE DAY
Leave your car at home and have a free breakfast on us! – that’s the message from Strathclyde Partnership for Transport for national Car Free Day.
The day of action on September 22 - part of European Mobility Week (16-22 September) - aims to encourage people onto public transport, bicycles or to walk.
As well as saving money, car free is the greener and healthier way to get to work.
And as an added incentive for Strathclyde residents to leave their cars at home, SPT is offering a free breakfast for travellers on its Subway network.
Passengers boarding at Buchanan Street, Shields Road, St Enoch or Kelvinbridge stations between 7am and 9am on September 22 will be offered a goodie-bag containing products and vouchers from event sponsors MacB fruit-flavoured drinks, Stoats porridge oat bars, Bradford bakers, James Mackie fresh fruit supplier, Subway sandwiches and Greggs bakers.
The free gifts will be given out at Fuelling Stations set up at these locations – with information about switching to public transport on hand.
There will also be a carnival atmosphere in Buchanan Street and St Enoch stations with upbeat morning songs from live performers to brighten up the daily commute.
SPT Chair Alistair Watson said: “We really want to drive home the message that public transport is safer, more reliable, cheaper, cleaner and greener than using a car – not to mention less stressful.
“Our free breakfast will no doubt encourage commuters onto the Subway during Car Free Day – but we want the people of Strathclyde to see public transport as a long-term option and make a total switch away from car use.
“With modern-day concerns like rising fuel costs, the credit crunch and global warming there’s never been a better time to make the change.”
For those passengers who need to drive part of the way to work, SPT offers Park and Ride facilities at its Kelvinbridge, Shields Road and Bridge Street Subway stations.
