I'm not so sure. Driving (okay, maybe not big-city start-stop driving) is somewhat relaxing because there's a kind of flow state involved with your mind focussed on the road ahead. Once the self-driving cars come along, we'll all be working on the commute.

Depends on the person. I don't work in my 20-30 min train commute. I just sit there and try to relax or listen to something.
