Selected comments from GO RIO users
(comments extracted from Spring 2009 GO RIO Survey)

  • I absolutely enjoy commuting to school via bus. With the Go Rio bus pass, I have been able to focus more on my studies without the hassle of worrying about parking or anything else. Thank you!!
     

  • I see it as an incentive to becoming a full time student … GO RIO will help me accomplish my goal to graduate, transfer and further my education.
     

  • It saved me a lot of money this semester. The GO RIO pass gave me the opportunity to take the public transportation which helped me out financially because the pass is affordable and I didn’t have to deal with the parking.
     

  • You only need one pass to be able to board different buses without having different (passes) for each one.
     

  • The GO RIO pass has me on a bus and out of my car. Now I also encourage others to use public transportation.
     

  • It makes a student feel appreciated.
     

  • It motivates the spirit to take advantage of the opportunities given, and work harder for a higher education.
     

  • In my case, I save money. My family is unable to afford for all my 4 brothers to be paying every week almost $65 dollars for us to go to school. It is also good due to the convenience that some routes come every 30 minutes and I am able to make it to class on time.
     

  • I love that I am able to save money during the fall and spring time to use the bus. It is my only means of transportation, and without it, I wouldn’t be able to go to Rio Hondo, since ELAC is my closest college.
     

  • The best thing about GO RIO is that we didn’t have to pay for the bus pass. It was worth [adding] classes that will make me be a full time student.
     

  • The best thing about GO RIO is that students that do not have a car can still go to school and get an education. The GO RIO bus pass lets students be a little free … to be independent. Also the GO RIO bus pass [connects] with companies to get to school.
     

  • It's practically free! I can use it on multiple bus lines. I think that it's a great incentive for those who have transportation trouble and aren't able to go to school because of that, GO RIO makes that possible.
     

  • The best thing about GO RIO is that the students know that they are going to have a way to get to school and not have to worry about the money. I also like it because it lets the students use the money they are saving on more needed things for school such as: books, writing utensils, testing supplies, and other necessary things.
     

  • It's a free service, provided you have enough units and the bus line stops are conveniently placed.
     

  • I feel appreciated as a student and proud to be a Rio Student.
     

  • It makes it convenient and a more relaxing ride …. after working all day I don't want to drive anymore.
     

  • It helps me to get to school, and produces less pollution and traffic [in] our cities.
