As Channel 4 / ClickOnDetroit.com reports:
"Michigan’s governor temporarily traded in her SUV and state police driver for the city bus to show motorists ways to save money by avoiding high gasoline prices. Granholm also has ridden her bike to work a few times to make the point. She donned sneakers with her tan pantsuit to walk the few blocks from her Lansing home to a bus stop, then hopped on a Capital Area Transportation Authority bus for the half-hour ride to her downtown office. She carried her dress sandals and some work materials in a mesh backpack. . . ."
