According to mapquest, if I drove to work it would take me 43 minutes to go 31.72 miles. I assume that would be without traffic--although it is a "reverse commute."

But I take public transit, which goes like this: 4 to 5 minutes on the subway, 40 minutes give or take on the train, and then about a half hour on the bus. The house-to-subway-to-train part is the most exciting and involves lots of running, because of course I leave my house at the latest possible second.

It's worth it not to drive, I think. I get to zone out on the train, and it's cheaper than having a car, at less than $150/month.
