have you considered biking? for me with my new job it’s faster to bike than take the bus and it’s a minimally scary route. If you have lime scooters and bikes around you can get a monthly pass that reduces the ride price to a little over a bus ride. So like for me I can get downtown (2 miles) on the bus for $3 or on a bike for $3.15
I mean if your job is north of your home you go north in the morning and south in the evening. It might also say north to x and south to y. like if I was going to work I would take the 1 bus towards downtown then the 2 bus towards (neighborhood south of my work). Coming home I would take the 2 bus towards downtown then the 1 bus towards (neighborhood north of mine)
