I start my work day (in the office) at 5:00 AM. I leave at 1:30 PM. I'd have to change schedules if it were possible.
When my wife and I move to Florida, I plan to sell my car and that will leave us with her car alone. I'll go car-light, very light. I might get a scooter.
So many people say that the only thing stopping them from being carfree is the crappy bus schedule.
I know what it's like. For many years I worked second shift, 3 to 11 PM. Lots of buses to work, but none coming home. Thank goodness for bikes and good commute routes! Now I work 7 PM to 7 AM, so there are buses coming and going. But I only live a couple blocks from work now...my usual bad timing!
