minus-squarebreadsmasher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoWhen I wasnt able to work from home, I would have to get a train and a bus. There was no direct link - train like to the wrong side of the city, then a bus through the city to the office. The train and bus were absolutely rammed full during rush hour. The whole trip was around 2 hours. If I drove, I could take the motorway directly and be there in 25-30 mins Public transport is great until you have to take multiple hops on extremely busy, infrequently running services which arent even direct
