Temple to Chinook? What, are there no busses in Temple, or chinook? I doubt it.
What most people mean when they say things like "I have to drive to get to work" is "It's easier/quicker to drive to work".

I've tried the bus thing. Yes I can get to work, however it severely impacts lifestyle (not to mention my health).
Cost analysis:
Cost of gas a month: $90
Cost of bus pass: $75
Time spent driving a month: 13.5 hours
Time spend on the bus a month: 50 hours
If you consider that I could be doing other stuff (i.e. contract work, fixing up around the house, etc.) within that 36.5 hour difference between the bus and car trips, the public transit solution just isn't viable (which was a key word in one of my posts).
