What AC Transit benefit have you used: My medical benefits, along with our dental are great. Every time I go to the dentist or the hospital, they always say that my co pay is nothing and ask where I work. We have great coverage and the benefits have been a blessing. My kids were born under AC Transit medical. My daughter just got braces, and they’re so expensive but our coverage is great so it helped a lot.

What AC Transit benefit have you used: I personally think AC Transit offers really good benefits. There were a lot of times where I got the chance to work with private sector companies, but I chose to stay because of our pension and our benefits. I use our flexible spending account a lot for massage therapies and chiropractors, and the flex spending helps me save money on that.
