Commuting to $newJob will be complicated. The place is close to the beach, so the public buses, at least in the hot season (so half of the year or so, and counting), will be full of tourists to the point that I'll likely miss more than one because full capacity overflow.

I still refuse to have a 🚗.

@array is it too far for a scooter or bike?

@indie1337_1 I don't want to drive anything with any other type of engine than my legs, if I can avoid it. Not that I can always make it, but I try to be consistent with my principles. :)

@array I meant like... An actual pedal bike or an actual scooter :-P leg-powered

@indie1337_1 Ah sorry I misunderstood. :P Well then I just commented before why this is not really an option: https://fosstodon.org/@array/112382938215759310 Public transport in my city is far from good, but all things considered is still my only reasonable option, at least by now. :(

@array Too far or dangerous for a bicycle?

@danielsiepmann Going by bicycle is not really doable, I wish I could but. I haven't got a place to store it safely, so it would be stolen the first day if I just park it in the street, and yeah, it's dangerous as hell to go by bicycle in the city. Not to mention that I would arrive at work all sweaty (it's REALLY hot here), and I can't have a shower until I'm back at home...

@array No electric car perks with the job? :)

@supernov This may surprise you but... No. ;) Anyway I don't want an electric car either. In my $lastJob I walked 3.5 km. everyday going to the workplace, same for going back, but this one is just too far, it would take more than 3 hours just to be there, and then the same for going back, so public transport it is. 😞

@array Check, I do the same but it can be quite annoying. I tend to work a bit in holidays as well and that's pure bliss for my route. :)

@supernov I don't mind walking (on the contrary, before and after so many hours in front of the computer I appreciate having a walk), but this is too far, and there's no alternative but the bus. But I live on a very touristic island, in the hot season there's just too many people...
