More Mass Transit
So my car’s transmission finally kicked it this past weekend after dropping $2k on it in the past year. I don’t think I am going to get it fixed, they said it could be another $3k to rebuild the transmission, and I need something more reliable. I don’t have the money to by a new or used car right now so I have to save, which means I’ll be doing more mass transit, bike, and I also Zip car (which I got approved for last night).
Monday morning was one of my first multi-connection trips via mass T (bus and train), I had to take Ben to daycare which is not very close to where I currently live. I take Ben to daycare every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I also have to say that although I use the Metro a ton I have never use the buses so thats all new to me. So after checking the route times and buses that I had to get on and time I had to be out the door with the little guy, I felt fairly confident about our trip to daycare. Ben was very excited that we were going to ride the bus and the train to daycare definitely more then I was.
We ended up arriving at daycare on time and Ben had a blast riding the train and bus! I used Google maps to get the bus times and they were pretty on, though the evenings the buses seem to get off schedule a little more.
The initial shock of not having my own car has been very stressful for me, I have had my own car since I was 16. Ive started to except not having my own car a little each day, but I am pretty sure I will get another one once I can save up enough monies to do so.
I also did some math on using mass T and Zip car and it looks like I will actually save money, with the amount of gas I use each month and my insurance payment, I could save about $150 + a month, which is pretty sweet!
And if you want to buy a broken down Saturn I know where you can find one pretty cheap!
