Closer to the city is good

Category: I’ve been really enjoying living closer to the city and closer to regular public transport. The buses don’t run all that often, but the trains near here run reguarly to all areas of town, and most times there’s no need to backtrack or even change trains.
In the past two weeks, I’ve had to put only about $25 of petrol into the car, total. Normally it’d be about $40 a week.
Not only that, but the walking to the train station (about 20 minutes on my own, 30 or so if Riley is walking with me) has been great. I feel good for the extra exercise, as well as for saving all those emissions from my car by not even having to drive to the station.
So my previous worries about poor public transport in areas further out of town are no longer a worry. Very pleased, indeed.

I moved into the same suburb as work recently. and while I still travel to the city a lot, I still use much less petrol that before! Plus, get to walk up a hill daily.
