I’m assuming that most of you are from the US so probably using cars, but lemme know if you use trains, subways, buses, etc.

Me? Back when I was doing an internship I walked to a nearby station for 10 minutes then transited to another train line, which could be an instant or 20 minutes wait. After that I walked for 10 minutes to my work place. So it was probably about 40 minutes of commute. Of course, I live in tropical country so I’m drenched in sweat as I arrive in the office.

Fortunately every year my city’s public transportation seems to get better and as a result I barely needed to use cars.

    Pre-pandemic I drove 15 minutes to the BART station, hopefully got parking. Walked 5 minutes to the train platform. Waited for train. 50ish minute train ride to downtown San Francisco. 10 minute walk to office. Pretty typical Bay Area commute.

    Now, I take my dogs for a walk, get back home, make coffee, relax. Go upstairs and login to work. WFH is the new normal and it’s great.

        Where I got on, not too bad, I usually got a seat, but it quickly got crowded. Nowadays I hear it’s better; ridership hasn’t returned to pre-pandemic levels yet.
