Door to door is all that counts
Out the door at 4:20am, walk downtown to the ctrain stop. Get to the stop around 4:35-4:40. Take the 4:50 train. Get off at Chinook around 5. Catch the 5:20 bus. Bus 20-25m. Walk 5m from bus stop to work door. Start shift at 6am.



The irritation for me comes in the unreliability of transit, even at that hour. I have a lot of flexible time built into my travel plans because I've seen the 4:50 train come at 4:40. I've seen the 5:20 bus show up at 5:05 and then leave at 5:10. I've seen the 5:20 bus just NOT COME (this has happened 6 times already in the 2 years I've been doing this commute) and I have to wait for the 5:35 bus.

Man I need to get a car. =/
