The 6am bus stop wakeup call fixed my whole route

For two months I rode the same 11 mile path downtown and still arrived soaked through my base layer. Then last Tuesday a bus driver yelled at me to take the side path by the rail yard, said all the commuters use it. That detour added maybe 4 minutes but cut my red light count from nine down to two. First day I got to work with a dry back and nobody asked if I biked in the rain. Switched my morning start time by 15 minutes too, now I hit the path before the school traffic merges. Anyone else have a route change that felt counterintuitive but paid off every day since?

Dry back by 7am? Sounds like a boring win, but okay.
