    Ahh, European public transportation. Not an option in the US unless you live in NYC and rarely leave the city.

      I just got a new job near DC that I can actually take the train to from MD. It’s like 2 hours each way but I don’t have to fuckin drive (except to the station) so 100% worth

        I legit can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. lol

        I can’t imagine being ok with a 4-hr daily commute in a private car with all the amenities, much less one on a public train.

        You’re way tougher than I am, if you’re serious, I’ll say that!

          A public train or bus is a way nicer commute than in a car. In a car you can’t really do anything but drive. On a train you can do just about any seated task. I wfh now but when I didn’t I would login and start work during my commute.

            Fair enough. I’ve only had to use a train in one city when I would go to the airport and that shit was terrifying sometimes. Also, I can just listen to an audiobook if I’m trying to be productive in the car

          Right, i forgot to mention that my current commute is about 3 hours of driving. I am also super suceptible to road rage, so without fail I end up spiking my cortisol begore even getting to work.

          I am gladly swapping it out for an extra hour of being able to do shit like watch youtube and doodle (plus it pays a hell of a lot more than my current job)
