Riding the bus/train in this city can be frustrating. We definitely need better infrastructure. Sometimes what would be a 20 minute drive can be nearly 2 hours on transit. And depending on the time of day/day of the week, the schedule can be inconvenient. Public transit is my primary form of transportation, so I have to make sure I bring a good book whenever I am out and about on the bus/train!

REFLECTION QUESTIONTransport Use Muscle PowerHow do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience or enjoyment differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?
Keri Okanik 3/28/2019 2:28 PMI love walking wherever I can. You see so much you miss when driving. It is such a sensory experience. I often stop to enjoy a bird singing or the scent of a garden.
