Grand River Transit

[plam]

I doubt I'd use the bus/LRT even if it was free, maybe in the winter if it was really stormy. I'd much prefer to bike anywhere in the region than take transit there; faster and door-to-door. I only use my car to carry heavy things or other people. My work is almost always outside of town in remote locations so transit and cycling isn't an option for that.

Yeah, the first three sentences apply to me too. I used to take the metro all the time in Montreal to go to school. But since moving away from Montreal, the bike has always been a better option.

In a larger city I could rank bike/transit either way depending on bike infrastructure, distances, and weather conditions. Pretty much everywhere I want to go in KW is bikeable though. I'm a very occasional GRT user, like a couple of times a year. Sometimes if I'm headed out of town on a train and don't want to leave my bike at the station it beats a 30 minute walk or a taxi ride.

My understanding is that studies show that driving actually has to be worse and more expensive than alternatives for people to use those alternatives.
