Public transit is saving lives during a massive winter storm.

As millions face power outages and freezing temperatures across the U.S., transit agencies are stepping up when communities need them most:

🚌 VIA Metropolitan Transit offered fare-free rides to warming centres

🚌 St. Louis Metro Transit transported people to shelters

🚌 TARTA deployed stationary warming buses

💙 Huge thanks to every frontline transit worker.
