I guess you don't need to teach any 8:30 classes!
Has happened sometimes. Is always terrible.

In the meantime though, biking is a better option for me than taking the bus and it's not a surprise that others would feel the same way.
In many places, for me, biking is often a better option than transit: usually faster as well as cheaper. I don't especially mind the cheaper part but I do appreciate the faster part. Biking can even be faster than the subway over short distances.
I've been on sabbatical in Zurich (so no 8:30 classes). There is a hill between the main train station, which I pretty much go to every day, and my place. There is a tram that goes up the hill but even walking is almost always faster than waiting for the tram.
