Pay It Forward on the M

April 28th is Global Pay It Forward Day! Global Pay It Forward Day is an annual event that encourages people all around the world to perform random acts of kindness for strangers. The event takes place on the last Thursday in April every year and is a great way to spread positivity and create a ripple effect of kindness in your community. One area where people can easily participate in this event is by using the M Transit.

The M Transit is an essential part of many people’s daily lives, and it’s a perfect opportunity to pay it forward. Here are some ways that you can participate in Global Pay It Forward Day on the M:

Pay for someone’s fare

One of the easiest ways to pay it forward on the M is by paying for someone’s fare. Whether it’s a stranger who’s short on cash or someone who forgot their transit card, paying for their fare can make a big difference in their day. It’s a simple act of kindness that can go a long way.

Give up your seat

If you’re riding on a crowded bus, giving up your seat to someone who needs it more is a great way to pay it forward. Whether it’s an elderly person, a pregnant woman, or someone with a disability, giving up your seat can make their ride more comfortable and show them that you care.

Help someone with their bags

If you see someone struggling with their bags, offering to help them can be a great way to pay it forward. Whether it’s helping them carry their bags onto the bus or offering to hold their bags while they find a seat, a small gesture like this can make their day a little easier.

Start a conversation

Many people on the M are commuting alone, and a friendly conversation can brighten their day. Starting a conversation with someone can be as simple as saying hello or asking them how their day is going. It’s a small gesture that can make someone feel less alone and more connected to their community.

Global Pay It Forward Day, or any day, is a great opportunity to spread kindness and positivity in your community. Participating in this event on the M is an easy and effective way to make a difference in someone’s day. Plan your next ride using the Transloc Rider app.
