How do you get to work?

Posted by Magda
The city is trying to get you out of your car. To start with, they've figured out how many people are in their cars in the first place.

UG and Stone Road Mall (8,000 employees): 77% go in cars, 23% use other modes
Downtown (5,000 employees): 83% in cars, 17% use other modes
Northwest business district (18,500 employees): 96% in cars, 1% by bus
Southeast business district (3,500 employees): 95% in cars, 2% by bus
Southwest business district (5,000 employees): 87% in cars, 2% by bus

Magda:What happened to the Northeast,East,etc. areas-perhaps that's because there are big box stores located there(i.e.,WAL*MART,Canadian Tire,Home Depot,Willow West Mall,West Hills,etc.).These commercial centres are poorly served by Guelph Transit when one compares the at-the-door service provided to Stone Road Mall;who owns Stone Road Mall and what's the owners' pecuniary relationship with local civil servants?
