Living greener

After the move, I'll be considering public transit for commuting. Currently, it's infeesible. Due to quirks of the OCTA system, my current 15 minute driving commute would turn into an approximately 2.5 hours (each way!) marathon on public transit. Simply unmanageable.

But from the new place, an auto-commute would be around 40 minutes, while a bus communte would be around 1:15. That's a much more reasonable exchange rate. I even toyed with the idea of bringing my bike along for the lunch commute, but my options within non-sweating bike distance are limited, so I don't think it'll buy me much. I'd just pack lunches, bum rides, and drive on days that I need to run errands. I might, however, consider a skateboard just to speed up the pedestrian transit to and from bus stops.
