40 minutes or the pizza's free

Posted by Magda
Ottawa councillors are considering offering free pizza to transit riders if they can't get downtown within 40 minutes.

"We need a rapid commuter service into the downtown core," said Councillor  Steve Desroches. "We aren't going to attract riders with a lumbering bus service."

It seems like a crazy idea -- but maybe it's just the kind we need to make transit work.
