It's either a 40 minute commute with a 2km walk at the end, or a 40 minute commute involving a changeover to a bus. I never realised I could just... ignore Google maps and walk.

Prior to this I've done 1hr+ public transport commutes, and I'm not willing to say they're a net positive, but they're better for me than no commute.

Oh yes I often ignore the whole metro and just walk. Especially since Covid.

It's actually better than it sounds for me because the metro makes a huge detour during those 20 minutes. Walking is a lot shorter than the metro route. It takes me about 1 hour. 7km or so (some uphill though :) )

Problem is where I live it gets quite hot in summer and it makes a 1-hour walk after work exhausting. In winter I do it more often.
