Forget the cost of travel, if my commute is one hour, that's two per day, ten per week, that's an EXTRA WEEK they demand that I donate of my time to the company each month.
Ain't happening.
And it's not even a week off halfway useful time. It's a week of fucking sitting in traffic breathing in exhaust and break fumes.
If you drive. If you use public transport you can inhale other people's BO instead.
But yes, if you commute, nobody gains only you lose.
And it’s not like public transportation (at least here in the USA) is worth a shit, it’s an option of last resort.
It would take me three hours to get to my job using a bus due to the routes. To get home even longer because the buses stop running and I would have to ride my bike at sunset.
And you clog the roads for those that actually have to be out there.
Bikes bikes bikes!
