Timing
It's interesting how randomness affects the daily commute. Some days I get to the bus stop on 34th St. exactly when an M16 or M34 arrive, get dropped off on 34th and 8th ave, and catch a subway exactly when I enter the station. When that happens I'm at work in like 15 min or less. Other days it's the opposite: I wait for 10 minutes or more at the bus stop, and another 10 for the subway, which makes the commute go up to 40 min.
