Dumb 5:30 a.m. ?: Public transportation

[Scanner]

I get car sick reading in a moving vehicle.

For comparison, if the bus took an hour, how long does your drive take?

If reading makes you sick, may I suggest an iPod with some free Podcasts on the way to work?

I don't think it would hurt to check it out. Like others have said, the type of passengers on buses depends on where you live, what time of day is it, etc. I would expect to see an unsavory character every now and then, but you will probably see more people like you than you think.

It's probably worth it if you're almost falling asleep at the wheel at times. That's happened to me before on the 1-hour drive back from taking the kids to visit their grandparents, so I usually keep my 4 year old talking to me so I stay awake. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have someone to talk to.
