By riding a bus, you can immediately head to your destination the minute you’re dropped off.
Furthermore, the bus ride averages only slightly longer — 1 hour and 45 minutes — versus the 1 hour and 20 minutes it would take you to drive yourself. While on the bus you can catch up on sleep or focus on work, instead of sitting in traffic on I-25N forced to pay attention to the road, as you would be in your own car.
