Alternative Commute Experiment

On Friday I decided to do an alternative commute experiment.  I ended up getting a ride from Timber to work, but for my trip home I decided to take Light Rail.  The light rail trip took me from Mountain View, down to South San Jose.  The total duration of my trip that I timed was from the time I left my office to the time I arrived at the light rail station in south San Jose.  My overall time for this, which included walking to the light rail station from work, waiting for a train, getting off to catch another train, waiting for the other train, catching the other train, and finally arriving at my final light rail station before Timber came to pick me up.  All that time added up to a whopping 1 hour and 37 minutes.  To compare that to driving, if I avoid bad commuting times I can do the drive in 25 minutes.  I love the environment but I'm pretty sure that I will be driving on most days.
