    I like trains because if I notice I forgot something important 20 minutes into a one hour commute it will set me back two hours and forty minutes.

      Why would you go the whole way to your destination and not exit the next stop to return home?

        I take the express train. I don’t want my one hour commute to be a two hour commute because they stop for five minutes every 8 minutes and have to get back up to speed. I already have to wake up ten minutes earlier to take the light rail, change trains to a local, take that three stops to a hub, and change to the express train. I should just buy a car.

          Oh damn. That kind of sucks :/ do you often forget things at home?

          I really enjoy commuting by train + bike, it is really cheap and kind of fun to be active before and after work. But my commute (at least the train part) is quite a bit shorter.

          Depending on weather or track maintenance/construction I often think about getting a car as well. But then I remember how stressful commuting by car is and that thought is gone
