My commute has recently been reminding me of the difference between worth and price. From my neighborhood, it costs roughly $1 and 15-20 minutes to get to my office via autorickshaw. If I choose to walk to the bus stop (15 min), take the bus, and walk to the office (20 min), it costs only about $0.10. Even if i cut out that last 2o min walk with an auto, I still save about 50% on the trip overall. When it's not terribly blazingly hot and the bus isn't too crowded, this is a nice option. I like walking and I support public transportation, so the bus was the obvious choice. Recently, however, the bus has been beyond crowded and has become more of a hassle (also since I now have to carry my computer to work, which adds an extra bag to maneuver through the crowds). While the price of the bus is certainly right, is it really worth it to feel and look like this every day...BEFORE work?

Yeah, I don't think so either.
Hahaha...except for the annoyed eyes, I think you look beautiful, Jenny! That being said, I think a dollar a day is more than worth not getting sweated on. :)
ReplyDeleteJenny - I feel like I am right there with you. Thanks for letting me tag along - I have always wanted to visit India. And you look beautiful even after that ride - TOTALLY unfair!
