As far as I can tell, they've had little trouble adjusting to taking the public transport. On my part, I sometimes set aside two days every week to take public transit. On days when it is either too cold or too hot outside, I take my car.Ivo Beutlerhttp://www.autoparkniagara.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-82137009636342120212011-08-02T22:25:57.931-07:002011-08-02T22:25:57.931-07:00Car free since moving to the bay area and loving i...Car free since moving to the bay area and loving it!!

At first it was a bit scary (like kicking any habit) but it's been extremely liberating not to have to keep up with car maintenance, grumble over gas prices, and worry about parking tickets!Jenhttp://blog.catapulter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-42158228195657536922011-07-18T14:20:18.855-07:002011-07-18T14:20:18.855-07:00Congratulations!
