Carpool or bus?

Question

This may sound frivolous but it has been bothering me.

I use to bus to work everyday. I'd aim to get to work at about 7:30 so I'd have to get up a quarter to 6, since the bus trip took a little over an hour. The ride home took about an hour as well.

I recently met a friend at work who lives houses from me. He offered to carpool and seems like a nice enought individual. This would cut the commute down to about 30 minutes both ways. I would get an extra 45 minutes of sleep everyday.

Ignoring cost, what would you do? I know many would say carpool, but I'm having qualms because I don't like being on someone else's schedule. I have a lot of freedom about when I come and leave work right now, and not sure if the extra sleep would justify committing to a commuting relationship.

Answer 1

Would have to talk to the person about how his hours an overtime is.   all the people i would ride with do not do the same hours so i have to drive myself since no public transportation.  Talk to him and figure out what is best for you.  work out a sometimes deal.  If you get out at the same time you ride with him for half the gas and a buck.

Answer 2

I would try out the carpool.   If it doesn't work, just politely say that the scheduling isn't right, and you'd rather go back to the bus.  Nothing wrong with that.
