I drive to work now (MD to VA…ugh!) and it is a beast. At my last job, I took metro…walking and then hopping on the train and I’ll be honest, I think I’d take the walk and then the train ride again if I had to pay for it all myself! I get free parking at my job now, but the commute is ridiculous!

It averages from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, but it’s only 28 miles away!!!! Make me wanna holla, throw up both my hands….to knock somebody the hell out!!!

cost…

I commute on the MARTA…I drive 10 minutes to the train….change trains downtown…walk across the street to the office…

The only issue is that if something happens at one of the boys’ school, I would have to catch the train which is 25 minutes wait time during non-rush hour times…and can add about roughly a 45 minutes to the time it would normally take me to drive it without traffic. Upside…ATL traffic is AWFUL…so I miss all of it and the company pays for the monthly MARTA card. *YEAH*

i’m sorry i know it is “better” to go with one of the public transport options but it is just not fabulous to arrive to work all sweaty and hot. i would probably go with the last option and continue to keep my ears open for carpool options, better bus schedules, etc. Good Luck! :)

I need the convenience of my car. I’m always thinking, “What if I get a call from the school nurse?”
