Depends on the type of travel, right? I have one direct train for 45 mins plus little bit of walking/biking. Love it, but I guess it's easier with a flexible schedule to avoid rush hours and finish some work in the train. (And compared to living in the city I live in a family house near the woods for the same price as a studio apartment in the city).

The short time I had to teveel by car was really fucked up though, but the train is pretty comfy.

I'd assume driving would be the worst for mental health since you don't get any exercise and can't do anything else either. You can finish some work or read a book on the train, or get some exercise through walking or biking, but with cars none of these.

I drove a diesel engine car for a while and felt everyone was so SLOW even on the fast lane, as if they're sightseeing or something. Then I tried a gasoline car and I noticed that I have a better temper. Turns out the diesel engine vibration is more noticeable at low RPM and it's getting to my nerves.
