Reply to comment by FelixTaran in How do you feel about access to public transit options in your neighborhood? by North_Emu8686

If I may, what options did you consider before deciding on using VIA or the light rail to get downtown? To clarify, was there a reason not to walk, bike, or even purchase a car?

I don’t drive. Walking downtown from where I live is about 45 minutes. It’s already a 20 minute walk to either the PATH or the light rail. Sometimes I walk but that’s honestly more of a recreational thing.

I don’t have a citi bike path and I’m not super confident about biking in the city. With unprotected bike lanes it just doesn’t feel all that safe.

Would you then rank safety, speed, as a top motivational factors in choosing your travel means?

I absolutely would not. That’s a clumsy aggregation.
