Changing Routes
Ask around to help you find the best route possible and do some research
Route changes happen. You move, change jobs or maybe you just need a new travel route for a change of scenery. For whatever the reason you can ask around for help and do some research to find the best new travel route.
Look for people that travel in the direction that you need. They may be able to impart some wisdom based on their experiences. This can be particularly true when you need to commute into a city and have several connection options. Some connections may be easier to make than others and don't forget to consider the cost issue.
Sometimes you need to balance cost with time and flexibility. Connecting between two regional trains may be more direct but you risk lengthy layovers especially one train is running late. Connecting with a subway may increase your commute cost but leaves you with more flexibility for making connections. Make sure you check the schedule because during off peak hours the subway may not run as frequently as it does during rush hour and you’ll need to build that into your plan if you need to leave early.
Finally, do your own research on the various transit sites as there may be a hidden route that your fellow travelers have not seen yet.
Good luck finding your next route!
