Changing Tracks!

Normally, my regular route to school involves me driving to campus,
parking in the East parking lot, taking the shuttle to the Canyonview
pool, and then walking to the U413 building. This entire trip takes me
about 30 minutes and involves three different modes of transportation;
driving my car, being driven in a public shuttle, and walking. I am
comfortable with this route and I know how much time each step of the way
will take.

However, in order to switch up my normal routine, I decided to take the
bus. I picked up the #41 bus on Genesee and Governor and began my long
journey to class. I found that after I finally arrived to campus, I still
had to walk a far distance to get to my destination. If the bus had
dropped me off closer to my class it would have been amazing, but it did
not. It ended up taking much more time to actually get to my class taking
this new route. Even though the bus route is much cheaper (less money on
gas and not having to pay for a parking permit) it took a lot more time
and much more patience than I have. I did enjoy the change of environment
I got to experience while taking this different route.
