FIELDWORK ASSIGNMENT BLOG

My current mode of transportation that I take on a daily basis is the UCSD
shuttle system, as I luckily reside across the street from one of the
Nobel shuttle stops. I feel that this way of travel is the most convenient
for me compared to other ways such as driving to school and having to find
a spot to park, which I've heard is almost close to impossible if one
wants to be on time for class. In addition to the fact of being
convenient, it is also a free method of travel since there is no cost for
gas or a parking permit.
My different mode of transportation to school was traveling by foot. This
took a lot longer than expected, almost fifteen to twenty minutes longer
than taking the shuttle from my house. While this way of transportation
is beneficiary to my health by way of exercise and to the environment, I
experienced much discomfort in having to carry my book bag and walking up
big hills for the forty-minute walk. Although the shuttle does get
crowded at times along with the complaints of some shuttle drivers not
knowing how to properly drive the large vehicles, I still prefer these
costs in comparison the costs of the length and discomfort of having to
travel by foot to school.
