Active commuter finds comfort on Big Lift shuttle

The HHB AT shuttle has moved about 100 thousand (patient) pedestrians and cyclists since the walk/bike lanes were removed in June 2015. While necessary to complete the Big Lift and ensure the Macdonald Bridge is safe for years to come, we understand it is in no way ideal. We certainly have appreciated the patience and the feedback.
