If the busy commuter in Exercise 21 decides to do more testing, how should she decide on the mode of transportation? Should she, for example, drive for a week and then take public transit for a week? What advice would you offer?

Exercise 21

A busy commuter is concerned about the time she spends in traffic getting to the office. She times the drive for a couple of weeks and finds that it averages 40 minutes. The next day, she tries public transit and it takes 45 minutes. The next day, she’s back on the roads, convinced that driving is quicker. Does her decision make sense?
