okay... so... I have stepped foot on the 137 bus to nyc... the 7:35am is not crowded at all and I don't have a seatmate... ah, I spoke too soon... chick with cellphone now sitting to my right and leaning her seat all the way back.... okay as long as I am not behind her....
the bus is supposed to get me in at 9am... cross your fingers.
okay chick's phone has been put away and she's pulled out a book. it's dark on the bus (i've put a dimmer on my treo) - I was able to use my train pass to board the bus. I may spend the extra $21/month for the monthly railpass so in case I need to stay late and take the train, I can without being caught short on cash....
this is promising... I know that all hell could break loose up near cheesequake and also the snake (up north, near the tunnel a bit... curvy section they used to call the snake) plus I am prepared for being sluggish near/in the tunnel.
that's why I am doing this dry run before making up my mind.
I will tell you that the temperature in the bus is fantastic AND the seats are plush and comfy....
time commuting to the bus from my house? 45 seconds. yes. seconds. I will be saving $$ on gas.
