I'm a little frustrated. Originally I had thought that 1:40 was a long time to pick up the kids. Currently that's closer to a best time for me. I'm often closer to 2 hours to do pickup. It was much faster with picking up Isaac on the bike, going home, putting things away, hoping into the car and picking up Alice. It took me 20 minutes to drive down Murray street tonight. That's not typical, but somewhere on the route their is always a surprise congestion for no visible reason. The other day is was Kent street.
At this point it just seems like the cost in time I have to pay, but it's frustrating. It shouldn't be that bad.
Even on the days where I'm not doing pickup but just taking the bus it's horrible. It used to be I could take just about any bus going by. Waiting 10 minutes was the most I've waited and it's usually because I was choosing to wait for a bus that had more room. So that was 10 minutes of walking + 10 minutes of bus. Currently it's 25-30 minutes on the bus, plus 2 minutes of walking plus a wait of 10 to 45 minutes for a bus. That doesn't count the time I go "I'm going home now. Uhh, a bus doesn't come for 20 minutes. I guess I'll stay at my desk longer...". Google maps says that it's about 1:18 minute walk. *sigh*
I can't wait until the weather is better and I can bike (or ride my new scooter!) again. *sigh*
