I-GO supporter Eric Steigerwald recently spotted this I-GO ad on the platform at the Roosevelt Green Line stop:

Thanks, Eric!

If you’ve taken a ride on a CTA train or bus lately, or waited on a platform for a Metra train to arrive, we may have bumped into you. I-GO is currently running an ad campaign on public transit. The ad pictured here is one of several variations on the same theme: I-GO is an affordable, convenient, and environmentally conscious alternative to owning a car.

To make things really interesting, we’re adding a contest angle: If you spot an ad, tell us where you saw it and we’ll enter you in a drawing to win $100 in free driving. We’re going to pick one winner monthly for the next three months. Ready? Here are the rules:

  1. Our ads are on CTA rail cars and buses and CTA and Metra platforms. When you spot one, take note of the rail line, bus route number, or station.
  2. Into Twitter? Tweet the deets to “igocarsharing” on Twitter.com via your fave Twitter mobile app or PC. Even better: Snap a photo of an ad with your phone and attach it to your tweet. Prefer Facebook? Fan us at www.facebook.com/igocars and post the info on our wall.
  3. If you feel so inclined, use the hash tag “#igocta” in your tweet to chat us up on Twitter.
  4. We’ll announce the first winner on May 5 on our blog, Facebook page, and Twitter, as well as in our May newsletter.

Know someone who should be an I-GOer but isn’t yet? Tell ‘em to text us when they spot an ad. The keywords and short codes are on each ad. When someone texts us, we’ll send them a promo code good for a discounted $25 sign-up. And if they name a current I-GO member as a reference on their application, we’ll add $20 in free driving to your account!
