Where do you go to school?
I go to school in Downtown Tacoma at the University of Washington.
How do you get there?
I take the bus to school because it’s convenient and much cheaper than driving. Sometimes it gets difficult to time my trips correctly, but I’d say I use the bus anywhere from 25-50 times each week to get around town. After seven years I’ve gotten pretty good about it.
How does it all add up?
I’d estimate I save hundreds of dollars each month.
What’s in it for you?
As a student, I save money on parking and get to avoid all of the traffic. I know that the bus is a reliable way for me to get around. It gets me where I need to go and when.
