Morning
This morning, I just want to try new way to commute to work.
Do you know what I did? I tried BUS!
I got onto bus 607 and transited to Bus Bridge-6 to where I work.
Then guess how much time it cost me to arrive?
1 hour and 40 minutes!
Then I know it is not a good idea to take long distance bus at rush hours and when it is raining.
Night
At night, I got wiser and chose to take Metro plush taxi
Guess how long it took?
1 hour in total.
Still not good enough but much better.
My Decision?
I will try to take metro tomorrow morning again, and see if it is feasible to use public transportation instead of driving. Driving is faster, but the faster our transportation vehicle is, the faster the pace of our lives are, and we feel the fewer time left, isn't it?
Advertisement Card Distributors on Metro
The most annoying thing on Metro is those advertisement card distributors on the Metro. They just pass Metro cart one by one and throw those name card size advertisement card to the face of people, and passengers throw it to the floor. Thus makes the cart really dirty. See these two pictures I took today:
I called Metro police every time I see it but I know the police must have hard time to catch them, since it has been 2 years since this bang of people appeared on Metro and it seems more and more people are joining the team.

I would say bike is much better than bus and it's the best option when there is no metro line.

I prefect metro to bus too,though the metro fee is usually 1-2 yuan dearer than bus.
Hi,i am the Eric above.Since there many Eric,I change my name as "EricNo1" from now on.
I will continue to read your blog,which can gives me a lot of thought and can improve my english too.
Jianshuo, when you see guys on the subway just throwing name cards at people who don't want them, you should stop them and tell them that they're making a mess and pick them up. Calling the police does nothing. Take matters into your own hands! Thats that I do, and it works, at least for a little while, as they're typical scare when I yell at them and then they go back picking up cards off the floor. Trust me, you won't get in trouble because they know what they are doing is wrong and so does everyone else sitting on the train. Try it! Help keep our subway clean, it is a public place and it deserves respect.
