[College Hill Topeka] TOPEKA METRO LAUNCHES NEW $5 RIDE-TO-WORK PILOT PROGRAM FOR SOUTH TOPEKA

[Katrina Shaw]

Topeka Metro, Capitol City Taxi, and the Joint Economic Development
Organization (JEDO) have partnered to provide affordable rides to work for
employees at 6 companies in South Topeka. Beginning Friday, December 15,
2017, employees of Frito Lay, Bimbo Bakeries, Home Depot, Target, Maximus,
and Mars can call Capitol City Taxi to schedule 1-way rides to or from work
for $5. Rides *to work* must be booked at least 12 hours in advance, but
return rides home can be requested on-demand to provide flexibility if your
workday is longer than anticipated. Standing trips may be reserved if you
travel to work at the same time every day.



Passengers must show their associate ID from one of the six listed
businesses above, and only cash will be accepted. Capitol City Taxi will
wait 5 minutes from the scheduled pick-up time before reporting a “No
Show.” A pattern of No Shows may result in the passenger not being able to
use the service.



Call Capitol City Taxi today to schedule your ride: (785) 215-1858.
