The Bus

I am not a fan of buses. I hate driving behind buses because they take so freaking long to get anywhere and make huge turns. However my new job is easier, sorta to get to via bus. So this morning I walked a block to the bus stop and got on a very empty bus. The bus went through town slooooowly, stopping along the various stops until we got to about 11th. Then because no one can follow parking directions the bus was unable to turn up the street since there were cars parked too close to the end of the street. The bus rerouted to 13th and we made our way to the tunnel. It wasn't too bad - a lot of stop and go but I made it into the city in 30 min.

Because I am so directionally challenged Port authority was a bit overwhelming so I just followed the crowd out to 40th & 8th. My work is on 45th east side. I walked across town and up a few blocks - it wasn't bad but Time Square is crazy busy even at 9am.

Overall it took me about 50 min (starbucks stop in TimeSquare was not a good idea) I do like the convenience of not having to walk 10+ blocks up to the path & then 12 blocks to work I don't know if I can do the bus long term.

I think I need to discuss better bus strategy with those that take the bus everyday, I mean I couldn't even find out where to buy a monthly pass and I won't have $2.55 exactly everyday I know it.
