so i took a bus to work vs so i took another bus to work

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. "So I took a bus to work" implies that the speaker took a bus to work, without specifying if it was the first or only bus they took. On the other hand, "So I took another bus to work" suggests that the speaker took a different bus than one previously mentioned or implied. The choice between the two depends on the context and the intended meaning.
