"Time is money" is a popular phrase used by many people who are constantly on the go, inevitably making time a precious commodity. Where else do you think we got the phrase "buying time?". Time is especially important to me because it enables I have very little which is why I like driving to school. It enables me to be the person in control of my time, whereas if I would have commuted in any other way, I would ultimately be depending on others. It also provides me with independence and flexibility because there is no one that I would have to check in with or make arrangements with. If I decide to run some errands, go shopping, or pulling an all night study session, I can do so without worrying about bus schedules or how I would get home. My alternate transportation was to ride the bus. The experience itself was very interesting. There were so many different types of people on the bus. I think the bus would be a great place to strike up random conversation. However, it was obvious that people were in their own sphere when they entered the bus. There was very little chit chats and those were mostly done by friends on the bus or from people on their cell phones. A great advantage that I found from riding the bus was being able to study while heading to school. I thought it was really nice to find extra time in a day to study. So it seems like I am trading time that I spent getting up early and being on the bus itself for an extra study session or time to catch up on anything, which I think might work be more beneficial in the long run, if I can just get myself to wake up early. Overall, I really liked the experience of riding the bus and it is a transport method that I would consider using in the future, if I can just get myself out of bed.
