So, the World Choir Games are bringing people into Cincinnati by the planeload.

On July 4, thousands of singers from 48 countries will converge upon the Queen City for ten days of chamber music, motets, gospel tunes, youth choirs, and your favorite pop renditions.

Some of these folks are formally trained singers who've never stepped outside of their native land. Others are local performers who are using the opportunity to sing before an audience for the first time ever.

Many choirs will bring along an entourage of conductors and chaperones, spouses and siblings, parents and grandparents.

It's sure to draw an interesting bunch of people, and that means Cincinnati's city center will be jamming.

We're talking about traffic, people. Lots and lots of traffic.

Thankfully, Cincinnati Metro is offering a few tools to help people get around easily.

For one, Metro is launching a special World Choir Games circulator that will link downtown hotels to performance sites. This is probably going to be one of the easiest ways for spectators, fans and other people to get around while the Games are in full swing.

Metro is also unveiling special shuttle routes that will take people to and from the Opening/Closing Ceremonies.

And Metro is also offering all World Choir Games participants a special pass good for free rides anywhere in Zone 1 (the city of Cincinnati, essentially) for the duration of the Games.

You can visit Metro's website to discover how easy it is to Go Metro during the WCG.

And now, for the giveaway.
