Bus

I am debating taking the bus to work. When I worked downtown I loved taking the bus. It was fast, I could read while on the bus and I got to be outside more. According to google maps it would take an hour or so for the bus. My drive to work usually takes 25 minutes and my drive home is usually 40 minutes so it wouldn't be adding that much. 15 minutes of the hour would be walking to bus stops, which would be nice for me.

Now that I have internet on my phone I don't think this would be a big deal. I would be able to get a lot of reading done.

Oh the suburbs.

However, you could ride your bike. :)

Good point! I should really try that out soon...

Studies show bussers walk more, so it sounds like a good plan.

I love public transport, as you know, and your bus system in Minneapolis is A++. I had a great time getting around and everyone was so helpful and not many creeps at all. And your bus routes make sense, the city pretty much has a grid layout and it's all nice and easy to follow.
