现年41岁的妮科尔・恩格尔贝特(Nicole Engelbert)是科技研究公司Ovum一支研究团队的带头人,家住布朗克斯维尔(Bronxville),上班地点在曼哈顿。大多数时候,如果她开车上班的话都能节省时间,但她仍然选择火车加地铁的上班方式,时间为一个小时。
She walks to and from the station every day, taking her 2-year-old son to preschool in the morning and doing errands in the evening. She avoids chatting with other passengers, using the ride as 'an in-between space' to read or think. Sketching on a note pad during a recent ride, she came up with a new idea for analyzing technology markets. 'Driving could take half as much time, but I could be cursing at the driver in front of me and not getting a chance to read my book or relax,' she says.
她每天都是步行进出车站,早上顺路把两岁的儿子送到托儿所,晚上顺路买些东西。她避免跟其他乘客交谈,把这段路途当作一种用于阅读或思考的“过渡空间”。前不久在路上用记事本写写划划的时候,她就想出了一条分析科技市场的新方法。她说:“开车的时间或许只占一半,但我可能是在咒骂前面的司机,而没有机会阅读或放松。”
Predictability is worth a lot to Bobby Brancazio when he commutes -- $174 a month, to be exact. Mr. Brancazio became so frustrated by long lines and delays on his bus commute from Hoboken, N.J., to New York City that he switched a year ago to the ferry. The cost is $272 a month, compared with $98 for the bus, says Mr. Brancazio, 29, a civil engineer. But his new route takes 30 to 45 minutes, compared with 11/2 to 2 hours on the bus. He loves standing on the ferry's top deck, taking photos of the skyline. 'It's like an eight-minute vacation every day, a mini-cruise in the middle of the concrete jungle,' he says.
