I work downtown. I personally take the bus to work and walk.

While getting feedback from our paid intern’s experience, one complained about having to pay for parking.

Because I naturally always support the interns, I pushed for that perk. Why shouldn’t they get all the help they need? They’re young, they have a busy life and they’re trying their best.

But my coworker (who drives) said, “Theres street parking and they are complaining they have to walk 14 minutes over.”

Now my internal “Fuck Cars” position is battling with my “Give the Interns everything”.

I’m not the deciding factor. Just wanted to share this.

    Maybe take them to lunch on transit to help ease the scary new things factor of taking transit. Once they’re comfortable they may be more inclined to do it for a commute.
