Transit

I drive 2.2 miles, take light rail, Caltrain and the Marguerite shuttle. It gets me to work in less than an hour. It allows me to read leisurely and work on projects that need to get done. I have met many wonderful people and developed friendships that would not have been made if I was driving to work. I have even planned day trips with my new friends. And can you imagine how much gas I have saved?
