Unpopular opinion: getting off 2 stops early fixed my whole bus ride
I started getting off at 14th instead of riding to the transit center and walking back, and it saves me about 9 minutes every morning. The bus is also way less packed there so I actually get a seat for the last stretch. Anyone else shave time off their route by walking a couple blocks at the end?
Switched my stop last year for the same reason and it honestly changed my mornings. Walking the extra blocks beats standing in a packed aisle any day, plus you get the seat for the long part. Just watch the weather before you commit, rainy days make that walk feel way longer.
