I commute because I can't stand public transportation. It sucks and it costs too much and who want to be inside a bus in the middle of a summer day? Certainly not me. I can get wherever I need to go faster by bike that I can by bus, not to mention I don't have to look at idiots all day, a trip by bus noramlly takes around 40 minutes I can do it in around the same time and most times even faster.
