If you've ever been driving along the Mississippi in the summer, you've probably caught a glimpse of the Quad City's Channel Cat - a water taxi taking riders across the river to various Iowa and Illinois drop-offs.

It's been on my Quad Cities bucket list for quite some time now and this new perk is making it a summer-must for me.

According to GoGreenMetro.com, "MetroLINK has partnered with a number of businesses located near Channel Cat landings to offer rider discounts. Visit one of the below pages (organized by City) to learn more about the discounts available with a Channel Cat pass or mobile ticket."

That's right, your Channel Cat ticket not only gets your across the Mississippi, but it includes discounts at various area bars, restaurants, shops + more!

Take advantage of this beautiful weather we've been having and explore the QC with our very own Channel Cat!
