It's not really boredom, you have that time left to sleep, draw, read, or enjoy the scenery. All the more worth it for public transit.

It also takes cars off the road, meaning fewer and shorter traffic jams. Win in my book.

The seating is more of an issue with cars, I've felt. It's always cramped and big cars are uncomfortable and unsafe. Hassle to park as well, and they end up costing you way more than it's worth.

Yeah, for me the real status symbol is a bicycle and healthy legs. Or a good public transit card.

I mean, I used to be exclusively a bus rider or pedestrian, so I'm not unfamiliar with them. Sleeping is a bad choice because you can miss your stop, and at least in my experience the scenery is no different than you would get from the windshield.
Did like reading though, since that was relaxing. If I'm being fair though, taking a car for the trip I used to bus is fast enough that I wouldn't find a book worth it.

Does the seat softness not bother you? For me, seat softness and leg room are the two biggest drives for feeling uncomfortable and even the smallest car has more.

To be clear, I'm not saying public transit is bad. Far from it. If it were remotely viable for any of the trips I need to take it would be my go to. I just think that they could put more padding on the seats, make them a little larger, and give a touch more leg room.
