My normal route to get to UCSD consists of a short walk, about a quarter mile, to the shuttle stop. From there, I get on the UCSD shuttle, which comes at various times. If I'm lucky, I get to the shuttle stop as the shuttle is just arriving, but most of the time, I have to wait a good 10 minutes, sometimes even longer. My stop is actually the last stop of the route, so I am often standing up in the shuttle, which I find irritating because I am barely tall enough to hold on to the handle bars above me. The route, with the shuttle's relatively slow speed, takes about 8 minutes to get to campus. Although it is not the most convenient way to get to school, it is certainly the most logical.
I "changed my tracks" and normal route by driving to school instead of taking the shuttle. I took a different street from what my shuttle route takes, to further "change my tracks." Although this route only took me about 5 minutes to get to campus, finding parking took about twice the time it would have taken me if I had just taken the shuttle. Driving may be more comfortable and convenient, but overall, taking the shuttle is faster and cheaper!
