things: first, how much effort do I need to put into planning, and second,
how dependable the transportation I'm looking at is. Most of the time, I
walk to wherever I want to go—it's free, and the time it takes to get from
one place to another is consistent. The only problem with walking is that
I am limited by what I can carry with me, which doesn't really come up
unless I am doing something like grocery shopping. Because riding the bus
would allow me more freedom in terms of what I could bring with me, I gave
it a try for the assignment. I found that riding the bus is more trouble
than it's worth, because even though I can carry extra groceries with me
on the bus, there is a great deal more planning involved in the trip, and
I have to arrange my schedule around that of the bus. An especially
unpleasant experience was rushing to finish my grocery shopping so that I
didn't miss the scheduled bus (which, in the end, was about ten minutes
late anyway). Since I live on campus and have no need to purchase the
massive amounts of groceries allowed by bus travel, I will stick with
walking, at least when I need food.
