Laundry Tips for Bus Passengers
Heading to the laundromat by bus can be a convenient and eco-friendly way to get your laundry done. Speedy Fresh Laundromat serves many who use the bus system to travel around the city. Our nearby bus stops include a stop on the B35 route and the B15 route in Brownsville. We appreciate all those who travel by bus to get to us.
Getting to Speedy Fresh Laundromat by bus shouldn’t be a difficult journey. Here are a few tips to make your journey smooth and stress-free:
1. Plan Your Bus Ride
Check bus schedules. Use a transportation app like The Official MTA App (available on Google Play and the App Store) to plan your route, check bus schedules, and estimate travel time.
You’ll also need to account for potential delays at bus stops and in traffic. Also, consider off-peak hours and try to avoid peak travel times to minimize waiting times and enjoy a more relaxed journey to the laundromat.
2. Plan Your Laundry
Pack accordingly. Plan to wash only 1 or 2 loads, or what you can safely carry. The reason for this is that the bus does not stop for passengers to board and un-board repeatedly to load and unload multiple bags of laundry.
Bring only the essentials, too. You don’t need to carry 46 oz. bottles of detergent and softeners or a box of 100 dryer sheets just for a couple loads of laundry. Consider using (and refilling) 10 oz. bottles of detergents and softeners and a plastic baggy of a handful of dryer sheets to lighten the load you’ll need to carry.
3. Plan Your Outfit
Yes, you read that right. Plan what you will wear to the laundromat to serve you. Wear comfortable shoes because you will be walking a lot between bus stops and inside the laundromat. And wear lots of pockets to hold your wallet, change, keys, and phone. If possible, don’t carry a purse or other bag that you can’t wear comfortably while working on your laundry.
By following these simple tips, you can make your bus trips to the laundromat more enjoyable and efficient. For those days that you have more laundry than you can carry onto the bus, consider Speedy Fresh’s laundry pickup and delivery service. No need to haul your laundry anywhere as we will come to you. We pick up, we wash, and we drop off. Perfect for both residential wash and fold and commercial laundry customers.
