For any employee of any job, the commute to work can sometimes may or break your day. In New York City for many people throughout the five boroughs, missing a single train or even facing a single service disturbance from the MTA transit system will cause an individual to go outright crazy because they’ll soon realize that they won’t be making it to work on time. For those who rely on the public service to commute to work, I suggest arriving to your stations earlier then usual and checking online for any sudden interruptions to your desired service whether it be bus or train.

For this post specifically, I’ll discuss and focus on own my methods of getting to and from my internship. Solely based off my own experience, I’ll come forward and mention that bicycling is the most efficient and lowest costing method of transportation in NYC hands down. A bicycle is a couple hundred dollars investment versus the thousands spent for automobiles and public transportation. If it’s a great and sunny day, I’ll make the effort to ride my bike to work.

However, if the weather doesn’t work with me for the day I’ll take the walk to the nearest bus stop and join the ride. It isn’t always the most pleasant experience, but I can deal with it as long as I can switch it up from time to time. As a word of advice no matter which way you are commuting, leave your house an extra five or ten minutes. It’ll pay off when you make your early arrival to the office.
