    Oh my god if I could take a train to work I would be soooooo happy.

    1: trains

    B- I could leave slightly later and be relaxed most of the time

    III• if there’s dense fog like today or severe weather, I don’t have to stress out for 30 minutes going 20 in a 55 because I can’t see 150ft ahead of me.

      I had a 55-minute commute by train for a few years and it was absolutely wonderful. It was two hours a day of time to read, or if I was still tired I would just nap the whole way. TBF it really helped that my station was 5 minutes from my house and the train let me off literally in the basement of the building I worked in.

      Then I changed jobs and had a 45-minute commute by car, and that shit was just nightmare fuel.

        if we all woke up from our collective nightmare and started building dense housing around railway stations, living 5 minutes from your station could be reality for 80% of the population
