[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

Uhm don’t need to read your article because it isn’t even relevant. Yeah I agree commutes over a certain length of time 20-30 mins ... universally suck. Mine doesn’t suck in my car, but an even shorter car commute would be great which is why I dot get why the hate for the car driving folks.  Money says if the Olney could find a comparable job in Olney they wouldn’t be clogging up your streets.  Hence who the heck wants to commute to the city at all especially if bike lanes make it even 10 mins longer...again who wants to commute to the city?  No one who can avoid it either by train, bus, bike or car.[/quote]

the “hate for the car driving folk” is due to your insistence that your car should dominate downtown and not take pedestrians and bikers into account. [/quote]
