However, if you find it the bus ride distracting to your routine, then you can also opt for commuting all the way.
Though you have a point about an easier life without cars and traffic lights, I guess we all have to learn to make this work for us.
When I started commuting by bike, I pedaled to the bus stop and then took the bus up a steep hill that I couldn't handle. 2-wheeled all the way home (down the hill).
After a few weeks, I was waiting for the bus with my bike one day and looked at that hill and thought, I could be at work by now if I just rode up the hill.
The next day I pedaled the hill. Never looked back.
