The \"Guess The Length of nyc999\'s Commute\" Game
I believe ScottHoward used to do these in the past, and I miss them, so I thought I’d start one of my own.
I have a 2-stage commute that presents many opportunities for delays getting home. A brief outline: 1. I leave my office and head to the subway (about 2 minutes) 2. I take the express subway 1 stop (17 blocks) to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC 3. I have about a 5-minute walk from the subway to my bus gate 4. The bus leaves every 12 minutes before 6:30, every 15 minutes afterwards. I make no attempt to get a certain bus – that is, I leave work whenever I can and catch the next available bus. 5. The buses before 6:30 are scheduled to take 45 minutes to my stop, the ones afterwards 52 minutes 6. My bus trip takes me through the Lincoln Tunnel, the NJ Turnpike, I-80 and a brief stint on the Garden State Parkway. 7. Once off the bus, it is about a 2-minute walk to my house On a great day, I can get home (door-to-door) in about 55 minutes. However, I would put the average range at 1:05 – 1:20, and on horrible days, 2 hours. Today I plan to leave around 5:45, weather is perfect. The UN is meeting this week, which has somewhat affected traffic this week, but I don’t anticipate any delays related to that event. Closest to the total travel time wins, and I’ll keep a running tally of winners. |

I suggest capping entries at 1 [/ QUOTE ] Do you mean multiple entries per person, or only one person per specific time? Regardless, I like both of these rules. |
