First bus out of this village isn't until 6.40 but my husband starts work at 6 am and is expected to arrive early enough to do a hand over.
Unfortunately, Public Transport isn't always a viable option. For instance, I used to work in a local hospital. It is relatively near (only 3 or 4 miles), but I had to go by bus. There were only two buses I could get, and the nearest stop is a 20 minute walk away. That's not a problem. Timetabling and the fact the buses were frequently late meant that I had to leave home at 7:45 to guarantee getting to work at 9. That is also not a problem (although I did often arrive at work 30 minutes early).

What could have caused a problem is that the bus service does not start until 6:00. Thankfully, I didn't do shifts.
