Back when I still believed, I was excited because I wanted get in my car and take a 90-minute nap until I arrived at work.
With public transportation, you can only be half-asleep or you'll miss your stop.
I have a 45 minute high speed train commute to a busy end-of-line station. I can sleep, read, work, or just stare out the window and think.
Same commute is probably twice as long by car during rush hour.
I wish I lived in a place that took rail infrastructure seriously. But all our trains appear to be built out of sheet iron and about four nails, oll movement is accompanied with eeeeeeeeeccccchhhhhhhheeeeeekkkkkkkscccreeeeeeeekkkkeeeeek
I used to dream of watching a movie then falling asleep in bed while my car drove the 8 hours to my folks' house.
But I'd want that beast to be bristling with sensors of every kind. None of this "cameras only" idiocy.
Someday. Maybe.
