adventures on the 401

I just completed driving on the 401 for the past week to see if it is worth it to drive to work on a regular basis. After one week, I came to a couple of observations....

1. I prefer driving into work rather than driving home. I like the idea of pulling into the parking lot and staring work at 7:30 am.

2. I like leaving work early but not the traffic on the 401, one of the busiest highways in North America. Out of the 5 days I drove to work, two days had me stuck in traffic until 5: 30 and 5:50 respectively.

3. The traffic on Friday, even in the mornings, is the lightest. Even with a trip to Whole Foods at Square One, I got home at 2 pm.

I still thinking about the idea of driving to work on a more regular basis. My trip home on transit made me prefer being in traffic in my own space over standing on a bus, subjected to conversations I don't want to hear and odours I don't want to smell.
