Each mode of transpor- tation has its advantages. Riding the bus is the most common method, but driving is the most convenient. Walking is the health- iest, but bicycling is the most ef- ficient. For a student who lives in- side the 1Vz mile minimum busing radius, walking at a moderate 3 miles per hour, it takes less than 30 minutes to get to school. Riding the bus often takes more time than this. And if a student wishes to jog at, say, 6 miles per hour, he will beat the bus almost every time. Snow is sometimes a handicap, to cars, although every- one is glad when it shortens school. Snowball throwers and slush are the main obstacles to walkers, while ice patches, next to the taxicab and the lvletrobus, are a bicyclist's worst enemies.
