People just don’t understand how valuable time is. Commuting 2hrs each way daily x 5 days is 40 hours a month you will never get back.

Also I find that people with long commute times rarely admit how bad it is in the winter. I work from home 70% of my days and when I commute it’s 30 minutes by car each way. On a bad winter day it’s 3x that! Taking an Uber home to port credit after a night of drinking on a winter day would take 3 hours!

I recently spoke to a man who lives in the east end and commutes by car everyday to Cambridge! He said it’s 3 hours each way in the winter, blew my mind! (His wife worked in the east end)
