    "My commute time can depend on the trains sometimes since I live South of my employer. I can usually circumnavigate on Fenton Rd to head north when there is a train across Van Slyke Rd. There is a bus stop or 2 right on Atherton Rd on the edge of Crestbrook subdivision for those who rely on public transportation."
