\"\"<\/a>Let me start off by saying how much I love my car. It\u2019s not the car I love it is the ease of having a car that I love. I have always thought it would be a good idea to ride public transportation or my bike, but I have never been able to make myself do it. With the Clear the Air Challenge I thought it would be a good time to start. (You can find out more about this challenge here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The last couple of days I have been researching how I was going to get to work. I found out times and locations and what the best way was going to be. I found out that I needed to be at the bus stop at 6:40 am to be to work by 8.<\/p>\n

So, it all started at 6:25 this morning when I left my house. I got to the stop early, and it was a good thing I did. The bus arrived 4 minutes early. It was a smooth ride to the Trax(light rail train) station. I am lucky to have a limited stop express bus that I can ride to the Trax station.\u00a0 As the bus was pulling up to the station the train was just leaving, so I got to wait around for 10 or so minutes till the next one.<\/p>\n

Trax was great. It was nice to be able to get on the train and not worry about driving. I will be able to get some work done in the morning, read or just listen to some music on the ride.\u00a0 When I got to my stop I had a half mile walk to work but it wasn\u2019t bad.<\/p>\n

All in all, it worked pretty well. It took 1 hour and 17 minutes from the time I left home, to the time I got to work. It also took exactly the same time to get home. I arrived to work about 20 minutes early today, so I plan to leave my house a bit later tomorrow; we\u2019ll see how it goes. I will be updating my adventures of not using my car for the month of July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
