Youth in Saskatchewan can ride with the Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) for only $45 per month during June, July and August.
Once again this summer, youth ages 12-25 will receive unlimited riding privileges on STC’s network with the purchase of a Youth Pass.
“We want to encourage our youth to visit friends and family, take in an event, or just explore our province by bus this summer,” Minister responsible for STC Don McMorris said.
The affordability of this offer and access to on-bus amenities, such as Wi-Fi on all routes, are expected to help build the success of this sale. In 2012, more than 2,100 Youth Passes were sold and used, on average, three to four times in a month.
“The youth of our province is an important market to STC,” STC President and CEO Shawn Grice said. “They are often new passengers that are experiencing bus travel for the first time. Our goal is to make them a lifetime customer.”
Youth passes will be available at any STC agent across the province on June 1.
