Most employees have a set place of work and set time they report to every day. One of the unusual aspects of being a bus driver is that the time and place you report for duty can be different every single day. No matter where and when the driver reports to work, there is one constant - the driver is reporting to work at a relief point. Learn more about the importance of relief points .

that the 8 Bates is what they consider a nibgheorhood circulator route a route designed to get people around w/in a certain area, with a connection at a transfer center to move on to a different area. What I wanted to get to from work was a commuter route. They directed me to take the 70 Grand or the 40X instead. The 40X takes me ten minutes to get to the Civic Center station, and another ten to ride MetroLink/walk to the office. That’s a MUCH more viable option, but because of the times I put into the Google Trip Planner, it wasn’t recommended to me by the software. Five minute difference with all the savings on gas/car wear tear is totally worth it.It’s definitely taking me some time to feel like I’m comfortable enough with the routes/service options to vary my routine much. To me that’s the big problem it’s hard, without knowing all the routes connection points, to figure out the best way for each of my trips. I highly recommend calling Customer Service and talking it over with them, because nobody knows the system like they do (besides the service planners). You may be surprised to find that you have options you weren’t aware of. And even if I just take the bus on the days when I know I’m just going to/coming home, that’s so many less days I have to drive.
