Were you driving yourself? When I was at MSFT I used to take the 545 back and forth, and did a fair amount of reading, coding and movie watching in that bus.

Not that I wouldn't appreciate work within walking distance, but transit made it reasonably pleasant.
- SteveJS 16y agoI live on Capitol hill. 545 in, and MS commuter bus back is fantastic. The ensured reading/downtime everyday is wonderful. The only downside is the restrictive times on the commuter bus and the lack of a vehicle at work to run errands. I'll shortly be moving to a house walking distance to MS and the reading time of my commute is something I'll greatly miss. I'm seriously thinking I might (on some days) take the 545 in to Seattle to get Vivace coffee and take it back to MS to get to work.

- aaronbrethorst 16y agoI live near the Group Health on 15th and John, so when I would take the bus I'd take the 43 to Montlake and transfer to the 545. It usually took less time to just drive, even though it was far more stressful than taking the bus. I left MS about a month after the commuter bus program started, and I thought it was awesome, but it still didn't compare to hopping on the 10 and getting off in Pioneer Square.
