patientlywaiting, good catch on the time difference. It was unintentional but I failed to mention that even when I had a car I very seldom drove on the freeways (too fast and crazy), so to get to Hillcrest I would drive via Pacific Highway to Washington Street. The bus I now take is an “express” which means very few stops and also it gets to Hillcrest via the 163. So honestly, If I had driven the same route the bus takes I probably would have gotten to work in less than 10 minutes.
