Commuter Day 6

Monday Aug 17, 2009

AM: 55 Minutes
PM: 62 Minutes

I tried something new this morning for the commute. I was really tires when I woke up today, so I decided to sleep in an extra half hour and try taking the bus at 7:37 instead of at 7:11. It made a bit of a difference. I noticed the train didn't seem quite as full as it does when I leave earlier, but the time was still about the same. I think the 7:37 bus drivers are a little more consistent at arriving on time, and not 3 minutes early like the 7:11 driver, so I may try doing the 7:30 commute instead of the 7:00 commute. I may extend my work hours a little later into the evening to compensate, but if I usually end up having to wait in the afternoon for a bus, I may was well stay at the office 15 minutes later instead of waiting at the bus stop for 15 minutes.

Speaking of waiting at the bus stop, that's exactly what I had to do this afternoon. The train pulled up to the station and the bus stop was empty. That meant that the last bus had just pulled away, and I would have to wait the longest time for another bus to show up. So I sat and waited.
