    I really like the 20 min walk to the train station, it partly goes through a park and it always feels very invigorating. It takes about an hour total to get to work or home but I don’t mind at all since it gives me a clean break between work- and private life.
    One thing I really hate is when the train is cancelled and I’m stuck with only a tightly packed bus as my alternative for getting home.

      I would be happy with a train commute. I could get in some reading. I don’t know why so many people have to get to where they’re going so fast. Alas, no trains here. Not even a bus that comes within 2 miles of me.

        Well, you got two kinds of cancellations. Sometimes it’s just a single train because of… reasons… I don’t know. Those aren’t so bad, you just wait for the next one to leave in half an hour. It happens maybe once a month?
        The worse ones are when there’s a defect in the rail system, knocking out the entire rail line going home. In those cases you have to travel extra to get to a bus that everyone is desperate to get on. Which causes a lot of shoving and squeezing and very uncomfortable traveling. The alternative is either to get a (ridiculously expensive) taxi or to wait it out for several hours, which is not an option for me. These kind of events only happen a few times as year thankfully, but they’re really awful when they happen.
        The thing is, I have to pick up my kids from daycare so I need to get back on time. A major cancellation puts me in an enormous stress mode.
