50 minutes each way on the train + 10 minutes by bus, in Singapore. Hence, 50-60 minutes each way is normal to me.

I'm guessing that you drive, and have to focus on traffic, but do you listen to audiobooks and stuff along the way?

Crowded trains aside, I try to make use of the commute time as much as possible - reading, emailing, etc. If there's a comfortable sling of some sort where I can strap my laptop to and work in the train, I'd buy that in a flash!
