So I have a serious hatred for the commute mostly because of traffic and the amount of wasted life that commuting takes from me. So I live within 10 minutes of my work and even looked for a house that would allow me to drive against traffic in the morning. They go West when I go East and vice versa. It is tremendously better for my well-being to not encounter traffic. That being said, I used to take a train to work, and enjoyed that as well. I would get to read, doze off, pretty much do anything that driving would otherwise occupy my mind for. The only downside is that I had to be on the train with other people. I much prefer the privacy and calm of the personal commute. Combining these two together would be heavenly. I'm super excited.
