Dunno about safety on your roads, but a 16 km commute is an e-bike no brainer in the NL.

    My commute was around 65-70 kilometers

    E: If you mean the 10 minute one then yes I could easily do that with a bike (electric doubly so ) and the public transit there is great (usually, now there's a train stoppage) but I work in heavy construction and need a car to not only get to work but to move around equipment, go to this and that construction site during the day etc.

    Otherwise I'd do the commute by train/bike for sure

    Yeah i meant the short commute. Ofc, with more context a car does make most sense in your position. I struggle with the multiple sites of my job aswel, making it hard to go by bike everytime. Luckily that doesnt happen every day for me and it is planned so i know when i need to go by car and when i can go by bike. But getting a cargobike did mean many less car rides. Because i get to drop off the kids by bike on my way to work. And i enjoy those commutes so much more.
