Sure buddy, spend a few hours hopping public transport each day is so much fun.

Cars are superior in every single way, it's paupers that cry out of jealousy we're seeing here.

They know cars aren't the problem, there are industries out there that spew out the equivalent of millions of cars but they don't bitch about that.

    hmmm, do I want to sit in a train, flip my laptop open and do some work, then walk through a park to the office for today... Or do I want to sit in traffic and do nothing...

    Tough choice there

    Work time starts when I open the laptop. I'm not volunteering that time, since i'm not completely insane. It makes a huge difference whether my workday starts in the office, or in the train.

    I’m gonna be real, I’d 100% rather sit in traffic. It’s somewhat relaxing to me.

    I hate this trend that we need to be working all the time, even during our commute.
