Big John Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 After driving into work over the past 12 years, I have started transitioning from my car to driving to the park and ride and taking the Express bus from Concord to downtown Charlotte. Saves me 26 miles per day, plus less wear and tear on my car, fewer oil changes, tires, etc. Wasn't sure I would like it, but it is nice NOT to drive in and let someone else to it. I can read a book, listen to music and come into work without the stress of the commute in. It has been better than I expected it would be and it makes me manage my day a little better, as I need to leave work at a certain time everyday to make sure I don't miss the last bus home. With a laptop for work I can wrap up at work and finish the day's work at home logging into the network when the kids are down for the night. Has been working out pretty well and will help save about $95 per month from my monthly budget. Done something similar since moving down here. Was mostly done to avoid the aggrivation of driving in Atlanta traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
