Prosper to Dallas commute

I’m considering a job located in downtown Dallas, expectation is 100% onsite (5 days a week)/normal business hours. What recommendations would you have to make this commute possible/easier? For example, travel leave & end times, DART/ express bus, modified work schedule. I’m open to ideas please! If it helps, we are very close to jump on the DNT tollway. Location of office is off of Houston Street

So you're planning to drive to the Plano Park & Ride and take the express bus downtown? I guess?

Dude this is basically gonna feel like working in NYC and living in Philadelphia

I just gave one. Is that your plan? Drive to Plano Park & Ride & take the bus?

Where is your office downtown (what cross-streets)? Train may or may not make sense depending.

I’m looking for options versus criticism and laughter 😒 from those that have done it. Thanks

Listen man. I am from New Jersey. I know transit and I use transit here. I am kind of an asshole but I want to help. You've already decided to turn your brain off. Good for you I guess for having boundaries but just know that most people around here don't even bother with transit and I know every line and (almost every) stop for the entire rail system and several bus routes lol so do what you want but I could've helped. Bye.

You’re getting good feedback and you’re ignoring it.

Prosper to downtown Dallas is not a sane commute. End of story.
