The Plot Thickens
I am trying to figure something out. I need to do more calculations first.
Hmm ok.
According to my father, sending me to school and coming back costs $6.
Taking public transport will cost around 80-90 cents.
Which amounts to around $5.10-$5.20 saved each day, since I come home by myself.
Now, this is where it all starts to get complicated.
Travelling by car takes around 30-40 minutes, depending on the time I leave the house.
Travelling by public transport takes 1 hour-1hour 15 minutes, depending on what time I leave the house, whether I miss any trains, how long I have to wait for the bus, how long the bus gets jammed at Dover road, etc etc.
Remember the $5+ saved by taking public transport?
Now, believe it or not, my father is offering me (money saved - $3) a day for each school day I go to school by public transport. With 21-23 school days a month, that amounts to at least $40 a month. The $3 a day for 20 days adds up to $60, exactly enough to pay for the monthly internet subscription.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm;)
