Breeze Into Summer With BCT – Just Try It! See More. Spend Less. Let Us Be Your Tour Guide! By Jose Paz
There’s a special kind of energy in Broward when summer rolls around. Maybe it’s the golden sunsets over the coast, the sound of flip-flops hitting the pavement, or just the way the air feels lighter when school’s out and the days stretch longer. Whatever it is, it’s the perfect time to grab your friends, your sunscreen, and surprise your BCT pass! This summer, a group of five friends made a simple decision that changed the way they explored their county: they tried the bus. At first, it was about saving money. With gas prices high and rideshares adding up, they looked for a better way to get around. What they didn’t expect was that Broward County Transit
would become part of the adventure. With just $2 for a one-way fare or affordable all-day passes, hopping on board gave them the freedom to roam without worrying about parking, traffic, or draining their wallets. One morning, they caught Route 11 headed east and rode it all the way to Fort Lauderdale Beach. Windows down, music in their ears, and laughter in the air, they were tourists in their own city. They grabbed iced coffees along Las Olas, laid out their towels under a shady palm, and watched the waves roll in. Later, they checked the real-time app, found the next bus, and decided to ride up to the Galleria Mall for an impromptu shopping stop. It wasn’t just a ride; it was an experience. The buses were clean and air-conditioned, the
drivers welcoming, and the schedule surprisingly easy to navigate. By the end of the week, the group had a new routine. Sunrise at the beach. Midday markets. Sunset photo ops. And BCT was with them every step of the way. So, if you’ve never tried riding with BCT before, consider this your invitation: Just Try It. Let us show you that public transit isn’t just about getting from Point A to Point B; it’s about discovering what’s in between. Let this be the summer you explore more and spend less. Ride BCT!
