So did I. And I had to be at the office at 7:30am. Even when the weather outside was "bracing".

So basically, you wasted around 2 hours a day on the commute?

Total commute time was about 3 hours (90 minutes each way). I do not live in Amsterdam. About an hour of that was wasted because I needed to drive myself. The rest was often spent in useful ways in the back seat of a lovely stretched yellow vehicle with lots of horsepower and a chauffeur.

Now imagine that Amsterdam doesn't exist. I mean, other than a queer little museum town.

And you can just telecommute or use a nearby shared working space.

Where possible, the best commute is no commute at all. No argument from me!
