I commute from Herndon VA into DC a couple times a week. It takes about 1:15 each way. But I ride the Loudon Country transit bus, which has decent-size seats and aisles. So as soon as I get on the bus, I pop open my laptop and work on whatever coding I need to get done. The real beauty of it is that I don't bring a mifi card or anything like that, so I can't get online and read HN or whatever. Instead, if I run into an issue, I have to read the code of whatever I'm working on and experiment in the REPL to figure it out. So it's been really productive in a couple ways. I wouldn't want to do it every day, since it makes for long days - but a few times a week it's not bad at all.
