Since last year I've given up driving and taken the bus to work every day, which has aroused quite a bit of curiosity among colleagues because few people take a bus to work in my office.
My easy explanation is that I'm tired of driving, and taking the bus allows me to think before my work starts. a day’s , hard, work I ,also, a ride, like,to ,be given , home, after, .
Perhaps everybody would be more convinced(使信服） if I told them that I take the bus because it's quite cheap, while driving a car is expensive and inconvenient.A bus trip costs 0.4 yuan or 6-7 cents with the use of a stored value card（储值卡）, which is almost free if you consider a Coke costs five times that or more. Beijing has a flat-rate subway fare with unlimited transfers of 2 yuan per single-trip ticket. I would take the more comfortable subway, if it was closer to my home and workplace.
But most of my colleagues, especially the younger ones who want to own a car, have responded with disbelief, as they picture me walking to the bus stop under smoggy skies. I believe they would be amused(被逗乐的）if they read the findings of a study of British workers, which found that going to work by bus or train has become very popular. Because most journeys will not only include walking to the bus station or stop, but also include time to read or talk to friends while traveling according to recent British media reports.
