I’m assuming that most of you are from the US so probably using cars, but lemme know if you use trains, subways, buses, etc.

Me? Back when I was doing an internship I walked to a nearby station for 10 minutes then transited to another train line, which could be an instant or 20 minutes wait. After that I walked for 10 minutes to my work place. So it was probably about 40 minutes of commute. Of course, I live in tropical country so I’m drenched in sweat as I arrive in the office.

Fortunately every year my city’s public transportation seems to get better and as a result I barely needed to use cars.

      Mh, that’s not how I know it. Like, being late is common. But if a bus, tram or train is early it usually will wait at the early stop till the scheduled departure time.

      But I’m quite spoiled. During peak hours there is a tram every 3.5 minutes where I live. So unless there is a complete blockage, the concept of “missing” the tram doesn’t really exist.
