if it’s a route you’re taking regularly try it out when you’re not in a rush. I planned to bus to work at a previous job and realised the transfer was so unlikely to work out that I might as well leave early and get off and walk

also screenshot the route because if you try to pull it up in maps while you’re on the bus it will reset and not work

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

Ahh that’s too bad. Is your transfer point bikeable or is it all highway? I sound like a crazy Lycra suited cyclist but I’m just impatient

No so I’m close to the bus stop out of my house, then I’d be going to wherever and get on a different bus and then go to my job lol but it seems not bad I think I’m confusing myself

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)
