I wanted to know how long it would take for me to ride the bus to work downtown and back. Google maps has a public transportation route planner which is cool. Driving by car, its 22 miles approx 30 minutes 1 way.
if i had to take the bus... First i have to walk almost a mile to the closet bus stop. Then its 3 different buses to downtown, each with a wait up to a half hour between stops. then walking again a few block to the destination. Google estimates it would take 2 hours 6 minutes for the entire trip. 126 minutes to travel 22 miles. that averages out to 10.5 miles per hour! in reality rush hour it would probably be double the wait times with all the delays and stops. You could probably ride your bicycle to work FASTER than the bus! would be a good race. anyway that's it have a nice night.
