First, embrace your inner detective. Pull up a map and see if there are alternate routes—like a nearby train or a different bus line that isn’t striking.
If you’re stuck, consider walking part of the way. It’s good for your heart, and you might notice that weird statue you’ve zoomed past a hundred times. Look at you, being all healthy and observant.
Or, go full-on adventure mode. Rent a bike, hop on a scooter, or ask a coworker for a ride. Carpooling with a stranger? That’s basically a low-stakes buddy movie waiting to happen.
