i think i've decided it's better for us to catch the train into work at TEAR.
it's good because:
- it's public transport
- i don't have to drive in peak hour or semi-peak hour traffic
- it means we have a 20-30 min walk from central to glebe and back again which is good for our bodies
it's bad because:
- i think it's more expensive for the two of us to buy our tickets than to drive in
- the walk can be hot and tiring, or very wet if it's raining
- we have to wake up much earlier
- my thongs tonight ripped some of the skin on the bottom of my toes
but those four cons seem to be outweighed by the three pros
Category: WhatevernessIf it's raining you can always catch a bus from Central. Re: the costs, with a train ticket you're also paying for "less hassle" - not having to find parking, not having the stress of peak hour driving, or the risk of accidents, etc. I work in the city and there is absolutely no way that I would be persuaded to drive each day.

Posted by: justine at March 13, 2008 10:57 PMYah, I work in the city too. I catch the train, to drive from Asquith and find parking is unconceivable! (complete aside - that word always reminds me of The Princess Bride)

Posted by: Dave at March 14, 2008 02:31 PMparking at TEAR isn't a problem. just for the record.
yes thongs are bad support, but shoes are so hot in this weather!
