Transit check

Okay, so imagine you want to go to the park but it's super far away and you need to ride a bus or subway to get there. But you need to pay money to ride the bus or subway. That's where a transit check comes in!

A transit check is like a special ticket that someone gives you to help you pay for the bus or subway. Instead of using money from your piggy bank, you can use the transit check to buy a ticket for the bus or subway.

But here's the cool part - the transit check is like a special kind of money that your parents can get from work to help you ride the bus or subway. So your parents don't have to use their own money to help you go to the park!

Sometimes, the transit check can only be used for a certain amount of time or for a certain kind of transportation. But it's still really helpful because it can save you and your parents lots of money!
