I go to school from my dormitory by public transport (tram, bus, metro). There are three possible routes that all take 15–30 mins depending on the time of the day with 1–2 transfers, so I have a bit of variation.
One hour drive with the bus to university.
What I hate about it: The often delays and when there’s slight weather change, my country freaks out and busses, trains and metros won’t work.
What I like about it: You can be passive. Got to get the bus at 7AM and feeling shit? Aight, get the bus and then close your eyes for the next upcoming hour. Feeling decent and want to read? No worries an hour drive from A to B. I got to get out at the end-station so that’s a bonus.
10 mins by car. I don't commute. I refuse.
The best lengthy commuting situation I ever had was when I lived in the Phoenix, AZ area going to community college and also working full time. I'd do homework on the bus to school, then on the light rail from school to work and back again. Total commute time was 2hrs per day, but it felt productive and like it added to my day instead of being a burden and a waste.
I'm lucky right now because it takes the same amount of time by car as it does by transit. On a good day it might take 20 minutes, on a bad day it could be 30-40. The bad days only happen when there's terrible weather and the roads are at a standstill
About 25 min across the city by motorcycle, or ~35 min by subway, twice a week. I enjoy driving so I mostly do the former unless the weather is truly shitty.
What I like about it: splitting lanes in the morning traffic jam. Wheee!
What I hate about it: Nothing, but I'd prefer 25 min across the countryside instead of the city
