Take four young teenagers, give them total freedom to go wherever they need to go (with Mom and Dad's permission), and what do you have? A 9-minute school outreach video to show middle schoolers and the like that using San Mateo County Transit can be a great way to get around.
The video features four young actors in a real-world type of treatment. We see them go through a day using public transportation to get to skating practice, to the mall, to a local park, to a skateboard park, and to the movies. We also learn about how easy it can be and in the process discover a lot of other places that are within reach of SamTrans. The program has already received raved reviews from school kids who thought that the portrayals and scripting were absolutely on target.
