Agreed.
But hey, did you noticed the difference between 1.5 hr commute by public transit and 1.5 hrs commute by car ?
No wonder we can keep adding to our wonderfull books-to-read list
Oh I totally agree with you....that was one of the blessings of travelling on the train/subway. You are free to read! You can think of other things and not get stressed out because of traffic or if you are running late. You can chat to friends, make aquaintances...and generally be in a lighter mood by the time you arrive at work.

One of my friend, who is an automobile engg. had gotten a job in London, ON. He also used to drive every morning to London & come back in the evening. We all used to suggest him to just stay there in London for a week & then he can come back home for the weekend. For first 3 weeks he didn't listen to us but later on he might have realised what a hassel it is to drive every morning @ 0500 hrs & same thing while coming back every evening. So after 3 weeks he got shared acco. there.
My philosophy is we should not waste longer time in commuting to work, as work takes the biggest chunk of your time of the day. The time which is left out of work should be used for family & home.
In my opinion 30 minutes or less/one way is ideal.
I know it is not always possible. I was lucky to have my best job on 15 mins. drive.
