I had the opposite effect recently—I thought that I’d save time by waiting for the bus, but it turns out that walking gets me to work from the train about 12 minutes sooner. Coming back, I don’t have a ridiculous wait, so I still take the bus.
I could do even better if I got some wheels of some sort involved. Maybe it’s time to take up skateboarding. Scooter? Bike seems like it would be too cumbersome, even if I can get one that folds up.
If the commute is mostly flat, consider Freeline skates. They take up much less space than any of the mentioned wheels; the technique is different from skateboarding but the learning curve isn’t any worse.

I have discovered that I am so terrible at skateboarding and rollerblading that self-preservation requires me to stop trying.
