Fortunately, my job is really close to my house, so I don't need to cover long distances to go. I do the same route 4 times a day since, I have a lunch break at noon. So, I need the quickest and easiest way to get to work on time. As you can see from the diagram, it is quit obvious which route is the best for me to take. Route no. 2, takes the longest travel time to get to work. I need to walk 8 minutes from my house to the bus stop and then take the bus, that it takes about 20 minutes to get me to the closest bus stop to my office. When I get there, I need to walk 10 more minutes and I will finally be on my destination. It is important to mention the walking both short or long distances in Cyprus, during the daytime, is really exhausting, because of the hot weather. In addition, there are no any tall trees or buildings to shade the roads, so this makes it even more difficult, In conclusion, this is the worst option for me as a regular everyday rout. Route no. 3, takes almost the same time as Route no. 2. The mode of transportation is the bicycle. This route is the same for me if I want to go on foot, too. It is nice to follow, since it is a residential area and there are not many cars in the roads. However, the main problem of sun and no shadow appears here, too. An other problem here, is that I have to cross the high way road through the underground crossing. In other countries this might not be a problem at all, but in Limassol, this kind of places are a good attraction to criminals. Not many people walk in the town, so many hidden places like the underground crossings remain empty. Route no. 1 is the best choice for me. I use my own car and I don't have to walk at all or tolerate the strong sun. I have to make the same route 4 times a day, and of course I don't get tired at all, because It's easier, faster and quicker to drive instead of walking or waiting the public transportation. Also, I don't waste time at all. The two only problems that I find really annoying and frustrating are that sometimes I have to wait for a long time on traffic, and that I have to pay a lot for fuel.
