Do I offer my friend a lift home?

Hi so bit of a dilemma.
I'm off to the cinema with a friend this evening and going to grab some food beforehand.
She's got the bus into the city and I don't know wether this evening to drop her off at the bus station or at her house.
It's around a 50 min round trip for me but if I don't she's on the bus over a hour.
What do I do?
I don't want to appear rude but I can't be bothered.
I just want to go to bed

Bus station , or you’re going to be driving almost as long as she’s on the bus

What do you normally do? What does she normally do to get around?

I would presume she was an adult who was capable of getting home the same way that she got there.

I agree - it's far too far for you to give her a lift. She benefits financially from not having a car. Don't spend nearly an hour driving her home as though you're a taxi.

I don’t drive, but would never expect someone to go out of their way to drop me off like this.

There’s basically the exact same thread atm from the other perspective and everyone is telling her to get her own way back so I agree that that’s fine

I don't drive and would never expect someone to go that far out of their way so i thinks its fine for her to get the bus.
