It’s around 2km from subway station to our company. There is a shuttle bus between this, but before I didn’t know where to get it, and I just know the station from our company to the subway station, so I took a motorcycle to our company.
One time, when I took a motorcycle the driver told me there was a bus to my place, and I told him I didn’t know where to get it, and he said it’s the place that you got off the bus. So the next time, I left my home earlier and found the bus that I should take. Now I know there are 3 times bus , there are 8:30am, 8:45am and 9:00am. I found this can save my money and safe, and every time I just need to leave my room 10 minutes earlier than before. Before I spent 10 Yuan to take a motorcycle, but now I just spend 2 Yuan to get a bus.
