Better, lane changes at the right time, further vision to determine if i take gardiner or lakeshore to get back on lakeshore. On lakeshore being able to go from left lane to right lane takes a lot less time without affecting the cars around me compared to when im in a car (hello lane that goes up to parkside and that's always the fastest)
So i dont sit idle in traffic in one lane the whole way, i get my motor running. Haven't done the drive in a while now, but i did calculate. And also, parking costs something for cars so that cost makes it not worth it in itself.
Hopefully, you weren't the person with an owl on your backpack. They left me shaking my head.
