He takes the fruit company bus.
Interesting. I don't know if I know anyone who has that sort of commute, but it always sounded different.

He used to work for a startup that was around the corner from his apartment.  He got this other offer (and several others) and decided it was worth it.  He doesn't have a car now, so he would take the company bus.  It has wifi etc.

Of course, since March, he's been working from home anyway.

I think he's getting a bit down because the city life he enjoys is largely gone.  He's a very gregarious sort while being fairly quiet personalitywise.  I like having him around a lot.  I don't think I've ever seen a person make friends so quickly and easily.

Several people I know do it, particularly to that face-ish rolodex company, the really big number company, the fruit company, and Genentech (nothing clever to say about it that many people who don't live here would pick up on). It gives extra work or web-surfing time. I hear it's a pretty pleasant commute.

He told me it's not a bad commute unless he misses the bus, which happens rarely with him.

He's serious about moving out of South Beach, he is not sure where he wants to go.  He found one one bedroom apt somewhere for less than he's paying now.

He was going to visit us now, but he says his work is through the roof busy.  Maybe Thanksgiving.

The first mentions of "the fruit company" want over my head. That makes more sense. 

Those buses sound nice, though also encouraging all the work. Reading a book on a regular public transit commute is a modest joy.
