- smaller things like maintenance/standards of vehicles
- devilbunny 1y agoFor kicks, I decided to see how long it would take for me to go to work via public bus. By car, it's about ten minutes if all the lights are red; closer to seven if they're all green. By bus, it begins with a twenty-minute walk to the nearest stop. Then about twenty minutes on the bus. Then a twenty-minute walk to the destination. And that assumes the bus is precisely on time. I could just walk the entire way in about the same amount of time (though given the route, walking would be dangerous - no sidewalks, high-speed traffic).
- Symbiote 1y agoA one hour walk is about 5km. That's 20 minutes on a bicycle at a casual speed.
- devilbunny 1y agoIt would take slightly longer, since the road involved isn't really safe for cycling (you'd take a longer route that actually has a bike lane for a good part of it), but yes.
