Choose My Bus Route

Now that I have a bus pass, which bus should I take to work and back?  It seems that I have 3 choices:  I could take the 28 headed for downtown on South 12th to Union and then the 51 going north on Union to campus; I could walk about 6 blocks to 6th Avenue to take the 1 headed downtown to Union and then catch the 51 going north to campus; or, I could take the 28 to Tacoma Community College and then ride the 16 to the Fieldhouse.

 

I live off of S 12th so I decided the 28 to Union would be my first choice.  My plan was to catch the 28 at about 7:00 and hope the 51 was a little late so that at Union, I could walk off the 28 and on to the 51.  Unfortunately for me, the 51 has never been late so instead, I have had a nice walk to campus.

 

The connections are a little easier returning home because I can walk out of my office at 5:15 to catch the 51 across from the Thompson parking lot.  I can then ride the 51 to South 12th to connect with the 28 en route to Tacoma Community College so that I am home by about 5:40.  (On the other hand, I could just walk out of my office at 5:00 and continue walking to home and also arrive by about 5:40.)
