Well it finally happened. I found a reason to use the Cityhop car.
I had a client at Northcote Point who needed urgent assistance yesterday. They were 900m from the nearest bus stop of decent frequency, and too far from the ferry terminal for that to be an option.
This was finally a chance to try the Cityhop service. This is how it went.
I’m continuing to analyse how my day-to-day work will be different without the car. I’m thinking through ways to better manage time and looking forward to some opportunities to both get work done while moving, and to avoid travel stress.
As mentioned in my first post, I’m going to try laying up the car for November and use rapid transit plus car sharing to get around to clients.
As November 1 draws nearer, I’m often comparing how each day goes and how I would have done the same without a car. What will I miss? What won’t I miss?
I’ll miss the obvious flexibility of being able to jump in the car anytime, but I won’t miss this:
Queued for the ramp signals, SH16 to SH1 northbound link, 4:30pm Thursday October 15.
After the signals it was also stop-start traffic until the Bridge.
