I just used Microsoft Streets & Trips to do the math, and the mapping, on my unusual trip home from work Thursday. Have a look. (Black lines show where I walked; red lines show where I rode a bus.)

According to Streets & Trips, the distance from my office to my apartment is just about 10 miles as the crow flies. Unfortunately, I don’t have wings, so it actually took me about 13 miles to make the trek, starting with just over 4 miles on foot from Tribeca to 40th & Madison, then roughly 7.5 miles on the M2 bus from 40th & Madison to 168th Street & Broadway, and concluding with about 1.3 miles on foot from 168th to my apartment on 190th.

On a normal day, I just take the express “A” subway train from the Canal Street station to the 190th Street station, which takes, oh, maybe 35 minutes. This was quite a bit more of an adventure. (Read my story and/or view my photos.)
