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

I did my all my PMP hours and studying during my 40 minute subway commute.
