Does anyone commute over the Bosphorous every day? How is it? I think I will be in about a month. I'm lucky in that I'll be able to miss the rush hours. Any other hassles?

I commuted for a short time some years back. Going over the bridge bored me out of my skull no matter what time of day it was...snail traffic! I decided to cross by ferry and even when the weather was bad, I really enjoyed those ferry rides.

i avoid the bridge. Even the idea of goving over the bridge makes me stressed. And why do we have to pay for that? so silly .

i am a dedicated teacher so never plan my lessons on a bus or in pub or even in the loo. Smile and also how much you can prepare while you are stressed on a crowded bus.

I've lucked out. my first class of the day is in Mec. and my student lives in Atasehir, so he will give me a lift. Getting back will take about an hour on the bus. My boss covers my travellling, so no worries there.

It's good sleep.
It is the sole reason why I cannot be killed by conventional weapons.
