I love commuting by public transit. 40 years later and I’m still using it.
Public transportation has served me well. I don’t have any of the parking hassles. When I had a car it cost me $300 per month to park it. So I’m saving money, too, especially with my employee commute benefits. But ultimately for me, it’s convenience. I live within 3 blocks of a bus stop in The City and I can walk to work from the San Rafael Transit Center. I don’t travel more than 30-45 minutes point to point. On my way to work in the morning, I read a book or plan out my day. On my way home, I take a nap. So that means I don’t have to pay attention to the road. It takes away the stress of driving; driving for me now is just for leisure. William Calhoun, San Rafael Public Library
