Well after a great battle with the wife, we are moving to cochrane for my job in calgary. With that, as i have learned to accept, i will have quite a commute on my hands. I am wondering what my best options are for getting to work.
My first plan was to park and ride but i am #1284 on the waiting list for a reserved spot at the crowfoot station. So until i can nab a spot, what time would i need to be there to park free?
My second plan was to get a parking spot down town but the idea of letting the LRT do the most of commute plus the $700 per month parking fee kinda puts kinks into that one.
They do have a commuter from Cochrane to downtown which is something that is attractive but i want to get into the swing of things before i commit myself to the fixed pick up times with the commuter. If i miss the bus, i'm SOL.
So what do you guys think would be the best way? Ultimately living closer would have been the best option but i had to compromise with the mrs as she has a bunch of family in cochrane and its less of a shock from her coming from medicine hat.
Any advice would be very appreciated!
