I have to admit that the best commute I ever had took 20 minutes by bicycle, mostly off road. Every morning I’d get to see wildlife, beautiful sunrises, fresh air, and all while I was getting fit. Wish I still had that :-/
It feels like you’re dying, but actually, you’re killing everyone else.
I used to have to drive 40 miles/65km to work, one way. If there wasn’t any traffic it was a 45 minute trip, but there was always traffic on the way home and it would take an hour and a half. It was definitely depressing and a huge waste of time.
I have a much shorter commute now, “only” ten miles. I’d ride a bicycle but I would 100% be killed in the first few weeks.
Cries in 80 minute commute to work and 100 minute commute home. And that’s driving. When I was talking the train it was around 150 minutes each way.
I know it’s shocking, but not everybody online is American.
British my friend, home of the worst trains going. To be honest though the reason for the extra time is because it includes a 15 minute walk to the Metrolink (LRV) then 30 mins to the town centre. Then the train followed by another 15 minute walk to the office.
I can attest to that
