choose subway today
|
I got up before 6:00 AM today and it is not so hot in the early morning so I decided to choose the subway instead of driving. Normally it takes me about one hour and 10 minutes to take the subway but only 30-40 minutes to drive if I can go out very early, before the rush hour. You may ask which one I prefer, subway or driving? In fact I really did the analysis, the answer is the subway.
To drive to office:
- No entrance into Elevated Way(高架路）during 7:30-9:30 and 16:30-18:30 due to non-local plate
- Tiredness, risk & safety-you always pay more attention to driving in China
- More cost-at least 60 RMB for about 50km of round trip
- No fixed time-less or more depending on the traffic
- No party, no draft beer!
But if taking subway
- Flexible time, no time limit
- Have a seat even nap if being an early bird
- Listening to entainment program or English on subway
- Punctual, -70 minutes
- Low cost-about 14 RMB
- Save energy and Green!
- Close to society
You may find out more reasons to drive or to take the subway, it depends on your judgement. Driving in hot summer days is comfortable, I agree with this. For me after a good balance, subway is much more convenient and lower cost.
How do you go to work? What do you think of driving VS public transportation?

- traffic surely a question in big city,especially in rush hours. maybe different people hold different viewpoint on it,some like driving personally,some like go by public transportation. if not extreamly liking and urgent hurrying and more outside business to deal with, just a normal work duty, i would prefer the public transportation,whether from any angle. in fact, my family's car usually drive by my husband, in some rainny day he send me to my work, i less drive at all.

- Private cars are so many that causing heavy traffic congestion and accidents gradually. If appending more buses and cutting down parts of cars in the mean while, I think maybe the traffic could be relieved to an certain extent. I am really sure what we all pursue is a harmony, green and unimpeded living environment, so we must do something for ourselves concertedly.
