Microsoft contract workers lose FlexPasses
SeattlePI | at | by Mike
The effort to get commuters out of their cars and into buses or van pools suffered a setback recently when Microsoft told its roughly 5,500 Seattle-area contract employees that it would no longer provide free FlexPasses.
Full-time regular Microsoft employees will continue to be eligible to receive for free the $72 per month FlexPasses, which are used mostly to ride the bus but also for van pools and Sounder rail service.
