Normally my trip to campus consists of taking the UCSD Shuttle. The
shuttle stop is a convenient five minute walk from my apartment.
Depending on when I have class, I usually leave thirty minutes for the
commute to school. Most of the time there are many students in line to get
onto the bus. When the bus does arrive, it is generally full from the
students at the previous stop. As I get crammed onto the bus, holding onto
the railing, with two strangers awkwardly close on either side of me, I
just keep thinking to myself that the ride is only about ten minutes long.
The previous Tuesday I decided to take an alternate route to school and
drive myself instead of taking the shuttle. Instead of leaving the usual
thirty minutes before class, I decided to give myself a full hour to find
a parking spot. As I feared, it took me about forty five minutes to find a
parking spot, plus $5.00 to pay for a pass. With the way gas prices are
these days, the shuttle is definitely my choice of transportation when
going on campus.
