[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who commutes by car knows of what I speak. Sure public transport has its advantages but honestly the problem is that it’s just so public.

Love my cozy, comfy, little slice of heaven on wheels.

Actually most people who commute by car are unhappy about their commute.

[i]TRANSPORTATION SATISFACTION  BY TRAVEL CHARACTERISTICS
Transportation Satisfaction by Commute Mode – In 2019, respondents who drove alone gave the lowest ratings for transportation satisfaction; only 29% of drive alone commuters were satisfied (Figure 4). Carpool/vanpool commuters also gave relatively low ratings; about four in ten (37%) were satisfied. Transit riders reported higher satisfaction; 49% of train riders and 52% of bus riders rated the transportation system as a 4 or 5. Commuters who biked or walked to work also gave generally good ratings, with 54% of respondents in this mode group being satisfied. A common trait of biking or walking commuters is that they do not drive and therefore can avoid the stress of congestion.[/i]

Length of commute time also makes a difference, with people whose commute is over 30 minutes one-way being less satisfied.
