I was working afternoon/evenings for a while. Work was only a couple of miles away. I could take the bus to get there, a few bucks and ten minutes plus twenty minutes waiting.
When I was done my shift, I couldn't get the same bus, because it stopped running by then. Well--the direction I needed to go stopped, the other direction was still running. *shrug*
I had to get a cab home every night, which cost me over an hour's pay (before taxes).
