Councillors should try using transit

Letter to the Editor
08–Oct–02 – PG Citizen


Dear sir:

Given the transit study recently commisioned by the city will take at least two months, the report will be received and acted upon by a new city council.

I suggest our new council can get full value for city's investment in a consultant if they have some first-hand knowledge of what it's like to live a public transit lifestyle. So I am proposing the Transit Challenge.

Quite simply it is this: those elected to council agree to park their cars for two weeks and take the bus to places and events they normally drive a car.

Our new councillors will directly experience the challenges of relying on our bus service, and will receive the consultant's report with a perspective unavailable any other way.

Shawn Petriw, Prince George
