After a month-long experiment where he commuted to work only by bus, one city councillor swapped his parking pass for a monthly bus pass permanently.
Coun. Matt Allard (St. Boniface) said he not only survived his self-imposed transit challenge in January, but thrived.
"Generally it's been a pretty good experience. I feel good because I've been walking a little bit — not too much, but a little bit — which is more than the not at all that I was walking prior to my bus challenge," Allard said Thursday.
"I've also been working on the bus with my smartphone. Though it takes me a bit more time sometimes ... depending on the schedule to get to city hall, in the time that I'm waiting I can generally keep working. So it's really not lost time."
