Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson explained why she was six minutes late to a news conference Friday to talk about her week using public transit.
“The train was late,” she said matter-of-factly as she walked up.
Wilson recounted challenges she experienced, and admitted she cheated once for lack of late-night transit. But overall, she said it was fun and she plans to use transit more often. She encourages others to follow suit to cut pollution, improve health and even connect more with the community.
“I enjoyed it. It was easy. It felt safe to me.
