📢 BIG NEWS from Island Metro…

After careful consideration, we’re introducing a new fare system:
💵 $1 per ride
💳 $2 if you ask “are we there yet?”
🏖️ $5 if you’re heading to the beach with a cooler 😅

Just kidding — April Fools! 🎉

But gas prices are no joke… so ride with us instead. ⛽➡️🚌💙

Island Metro is still 100% FREE — no change, just good rides.
