While having my car repaired I did a little experiment trying different ways to get to work, which is approximately 9 km from home.
With public transportation I had to change buses twice and according to the time table the trip should take one hour plus about ten minutes of walking to/from the bus stops. The morning I tried one of the buses was late so I missed the next bus I was supposed to catch and that added fifteen minutes, in all almost one and a half hour!
When I ran and that took about 40 minutes and when I biked about 25 minutes: just shower at work instead of at home and no extra time is added.
When I drive that takes about fifteen minutes, door to door.
To me, biking seems like a much better choice that public transportation!
