CapMetro is celebrating the holiday season with several festive customer appreciation events throughout the month of December. The “Magic of Transit” events include breakfast and coffee at various stops, fare pass giveaways on select surprise routes, and a social media contest.
The CapMetro festivities begin with the social media contest, starting December 1. Customers who take a selfie of them riding our service, post it to social media with the hashtag #MagicOfTransit and tag CapMetro will be entered for a chance to win one of three prizes.
1. Grand Prize: One yearlong Commuter Pass (good for bus and rail) worth about $495, along with CapMetro Swag and free tickets to the Paramount Theater.
2. Second Place Prize: One 31-day Commuter Pass (good for bus and rail), along with CapMetro Swag and free tickets to the Paramount Theater.
3. Third Place Prize: One 7-day Commuter Pass (good for bus and rail), along with CapMetro swag and free tickets to the Paramount Theater.
Customers can enter once per calendar week, with a max limit of up to four times.
CapMetro will continue spreading the “Magic of Transit” at select stops and stations throughout December. Our agency elves will hand out breakfast items and coffee to show their appreciation for our customers. Look for these Holiday pop-ups on these days:
· Tuesday, December 3: CapMetro Stop at the University of Texas West Mall at 7 a.m.
· Thursday, December 5: MLK Jr. Station at 7 a.m.
· Wednesday, December 11: Leander Station at 6 a.m.
· Monday, December 16: Manor Park & Ride at 6 a.m.
CapMetro’s elves will also pop-up on select routes to distribute passes and swag. Keep an eye out for them on December 4, December 9, and December 18! Throughout December, they will hand out a total of 600 passes, including both bus and rail passes.
If you are taking the Red Line on December 14, prepare to get festive and sing along to some holiday carols. The La Murga Band, the supports section band for Austin FC, is riding the commuter train that evening to sing with our customers and spread holiday cheer.
“The holiday season gives us all a chance to reflect on what we’re grateful for,” said Dottie Watkins, President and CEO of CapMetro. “At CapMetro, we’re most grateful for our customers, and this is our way of saying thank you to them, while also spreading some holiday cheer. We hope everyone has a chance to join in on the fun in some way.”
