Hop on the bus, Gus...

During the last couple of months I've started taking the bus to work almost every day. At some point last Spring I was getting so frustrated with being stuck in traffic every morning, and found out it's a lot more comfortable chillin' in the back of the bus, listening to my iPod, half asleep.

Besides, it's supposed to be good for the environment to take public transportation. Maybe even help stop the global warming stuff going on. But considering my job is to help oil companies find more oil I guess I'm not entitled to brag too much about helping the environment...

Anyway, lately the traffic has been a lot better! It's flowing really smooth all the way to downtown! A lot less cars on the road for some reason! So I could probably start taking the car to work again now, but so far I've been sticking to the bus. I guess I just like it so much.

There is one thing that may get me to take the car again though. The case is that in order to get to work I have to take two buses. First bus nr M2 to downtown, then bus nr 19 to my office. Previously the timing has been perfect! Bus M2 arrives a few minutes before nr 19 leaves. So I practically hop from one bus to another. The last two weeks however, there's been a new bus driver on the M2 bus. And this new driver drives so slow, and makes these looooong stops at every bus stop along the way. So by the time we arrive downtown I can do nothing but watch the 19 bus disappear around a corner. I always miss it! So I either have to walk for 30 minutes to get to work, or wait 15 minutes for the next bus. Either way, it's really frustrating to miss that bus!

I'm going to keep taking the bus for a couple of more weeks, but if this continues I'll probably switch back to the car, even though I may contribute to a little bit of global warming...
