I suppose that one of the more significant downsides to a bus-commute, or any mass transit, really, is that if you aren't feeling well, you still have to wait. I'm not feeling horrible today, just a bit under the weather. I left work as soon as I could justify it today (got my 8 hours in, barely). But I still have to wait for the bus.
At least it stopped raining. Mostly.
And the wait wasn't horrible, just longer than i'd've liked. Ah, well...
The schedule-change noted yesterday did, in fact get me in to work about ten to fifteen minutes earlier than I used to. It might also allow me to get home slightly earlier as well, assuming the powers-that-be at work are able to relax their "must-be-in-the-office-during-core-hours" policy. Slightly. Like, by fifteen or twenty minutes.
Odds aren't good, though.
Taking the bus is definately preferable to paid parking on game-days, too. Today's Rockies game didn't bump parking-prices nearly as bad as the opening-day game (which increased at least one lot's daily rate to $25 according to one co-worker). But the ones I keep an eye on still went up as much as 100%.
Not feeling well enough to try and get a clearer pic of the new station today - will try tomorrow.
