I find something similar when I'm driving. The roads are fine. It's just there are all these people in cars.
Allows you to get in the mood, then chill on the way home. I travel late though and never in the peak.
Couldnt do without it.
Love it!
In the ideal world, we'd all be able to walk to work whilst living in an area that (a) we could afford and (b) gave us everything else we needed (schools, restaurants, pubs, whatever). In an even more ideal world, our job would gradually or rapidly develop to meet our ambitions, the company we worked for would never get taken over, or relocate and our job would never get restructured or made redundant.
The sun would always shine, beer would cost 1p and there'd be no dodgy strangers in the street.
In the real world, for many reasons, we end up working miles away from wherever we live and we have to endure the daily "commute", though some forms are more more bearable than others.
Well...when the cunting things bloody turn up that is. Another half hour delay this morning just because.
I sometimes get the bus because it's MUCH cheaper but yeah it ain't the nicest of journeys.

I used to work a ten minute cycle ride from home. It was great, I could go home at lunchtimes. The (secondary) campus I worked on was beautiful, as was the surrounding country side.
Then 'they' decided to close the campus and move everyone up to the primary site in the worst, most run-down part of Stoke On Trent.
The place is a car-fumed choking shyte-hole that smells of sour-milk and dog excrement.. and now I have to cycle and catch the cattle-truck, so my working day is now much longer and I am worse off cos of the rail fairs. I can only manage it because I persuaded my employer to reduce my contract to 3 days a week. It now means my work/life balance is in my favour.
If I had to do it for five days a week they would be carting me off site in a straight-jacket.
My feedback thread is here.
Then I changed posts and we were based in North London but covered every exchange within the M25. It could sometimes take 3 hours or more to get onsite. Stuff that, give me public transport every time.
Cheer up, pal. It's fucking Friday for Christ's sake.
The Tube is firggin horrendous. Its alright when its quiet, but otherwise its a dehumanising depressing experience. BEtter than it was in the past, but still sheeite. Same in pretty much every country I've been to.
Russian underground is not too bad, the one in Moscow is very good and Stalinistically impressive, every station is a monument,
They are also getting fat and unfit because the only exercise they do is waddling to the bus stop.
Where I used to live the traffic was horrendous in the mornings. In stationary traffic you would see school kids waiting for a bus to go one or two stops that they could walk in 5 minutes. There was no bus in sight (on a long straight piece of road), and the way the traffic was, there wouldn't be a bus for at least 5 minutes, and then it would take another 8 minutes to get them to their school. There is no way those kids should have been using the bus. For their own good they should be made to do some exercise.
