You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1 and 2 are not valid
3 is valid as far as it goes.
The initial statement about buses is not true.
if i take the bus, then i will not be early.
You just have to leave home earlier than going by car
The second statement is not true either
if i am not early then I will get fired.
You only have to be on time not early
