    Truck broke down day before meeting. His wife used their 1 car which is probably how he got to work site building, where he and I met.
    He had several hrs. in the morning to get to his meeting.... You have to understand displaced employees (I'm one of them), working from home during the post-flood temp. situation have LOTS of time this summer to do work (more slowly) and unfettered by restrictions of typical work day being at an office building. It's not a great work productivity situation but it's not the worst either. (Imagine if we didn't have computers at all and Citrix.)

    He lives near LRT line. But yes, he drives to work which is his mode of travel. Our LRT accepts bikes during non-peak hrs. Beautiful sunny summer day yesterday. Unlike our very cold winter days.

    Yup he has a bike. He occasionally goes into the trails in a valley park area (which has City's bike paths) a few km. from home.

    No children (therefore no demands on personal schedule comparable to parent), he is athletic (avid water kite-boarder, regular squash, x-skiing in mountains...and indoor bike spinning classes which is great. I know he appreciates my effort to be healthy.)

    Dearie thinks it was better I kept my mouth shut from suggesting anything to him, Blueberry.

    *Our city had a major river flood in late June this year. Sinkholes in some roads while some bridges collapsed and some river parks gouged, homes were flooded. Some neighbourhoods were closed off because of major construction garbage. Did it change people's choice of transportation, even temporarily? No, most people, I doubt it.
