The problem is that with the bus sched being every 50 or so minutes after 6 PM, if the timing isn't perfect I can be waiting for close to an hour. It's a great chance to catch up on my reading, but I'd rather be home.
I used to have the same problem with the bus from the train to my neighbourhood (Mackenzie Towne) when I took the bus outside of normal rush hour. Since they added the BRT it is like heaven. The 302 runs right beside Riverbend and even at 9:30 at night the longest it would take to get to Riverbend is about 30 mins with a maximum 30 min wait for the bus. Downside is you either need to live reasonably close to the couple stops near there, or find a location nearby to drive and park to take it.
