  I wouldn’t be surprised if that bus included connections to other lines on top of it all.

    Bus transfers are the worst… In my city, we have a pretty good network of busses … IF your goal is the city center. All the routes just do a spiderweb towards the center. You’re on your own if you needed to go between neighborhoods.

  Bicycle? Others take dedicated time to do workouts. This is basically the perfect distance for a short workout (and time in between commuting is also basically optimal for recovery according to research). Keeps you fit and healthy without thinking about doing more sport (which is still a good idea). I’m even faster on that kind of distance than a car.

  I could never drive the bus/train, commuting by bicycle is too fun and way more flexible (even than a car, considering less options for driving and parking). The distance would have to be larger than 20 miles (or non-“freedom” units: 32 km) that I would consider something else…

  2.5 miles is thankfully about 15 minutes by bike - less if you’re pushing it or running an ebike

    I actually considered getting an ebike once to get to work, but then started mapping out a good route to take and realized the infrastructure isn't designed for that kind of travel. Bonus, it would be at night, so statistically someone in a car would be a threat to me eventually, because bike lanes are a joke.
