Public Transit to work
I've been thinking about what it would take to do 100% public transit on my Rochester commute day. It would be expensive and a lot of time, but then I found out it's impossible, there isn't way to get from my house to the commuter bus by 6 AM. Here's how it would work if say, the bus really left at 7 AM. I could also do this for real from Amy's house, which is a lot closer and is on a route that runs all night.
Leave home at 5:15 AM
5:23 AM Board city bus
5:56 AM Transfer downtown to another bus
6:46 AM Arrive at commuter bus
(time travel back an hour)
6:00 AM Board bus
7:35 AM Arrive in downtown Rochester
7:45 AM Board Rochester Bus
7:57 AM Arrive at work
(Total of 3:45 accounting for time travel)
Work to home:
4:55 PM Leave on bus to downtown
5:04 PM Arrive St Mary's Hospital
5:12 PM Leave Rochester on commuter bus
6:45 PM Arrive at Bloomington Park & Ride
6:50 PM Board train to downtown
7:20 PM Catch Bus to 9st & Nicollet
7:45 PM Catch Bus to near home
8:15 PM arrive home
(Total of 3:20)
Appx cost (could save $20 off this if I had a multiride ticket): $48
Total commute time: 7:05
Current gas commute cost: ~$20
Total car commute time: 1:40x2 for 3:20
If I drove to the park and ride, cost would be $44
Leave home: ~5:20 AM, arrive 7:57 AM (2:35 commute)
Go home: 4:55, arrive ~ 7:15 PM (2:20 commute)
