Finally found a reasonable way to commute via bus and bike.

Between my house and my work is a wasteland, never never land sort of like Mordor in the middle earth. Its an industrial ghetto with no bike path. no homes. just big refineries, and a big staging point for the container shipping. Lots of semis few cars..

Then right next to it is "on the right side, we have the Mexican gang land/turf and on the left side is, we have the Vietnamese gang land/turf." ugh. I don't want to ride my bike through by myself. I'm old, unattractive, overweight but gangs have no taste so its a fair game. I don't like being the game of the hunt.

Solution is to take the municipal bus through both area so I can get to the safe area on the other side. Then I can bike to work. just over 30 miles each way. I plan on getting something like stoke monkey to help me out

cost $2.50 roundtrip and extra 3 hours roundtrip but I get my training ride out of the way. save $16.00 on gas per trip. yes I burn 4 gallons a day for my ungodly commute.
