I live 1.2 miles from a Caltrain station. The office where I work is 1.1 miles from a Caltrain station.
On days when it's raining or I'm feeling too tired to walk, I can Lyft to the station or ride a commute.org shuttle that gets to Caltrain and has a pickup/dropoff spot a block from my apartment.
Which is a good thing, because the parking lot at the Caltrain station is completely full by the time I wake up (and shifting my schedule 2-3 hours earlier would take away my ability to actually work with the people I work with).

- closeparen 10y agoFor context, the average car commute in a sprawling metro is 25 minutes total. Assuming your walking speed is near average, you spend more than 45 minutes just on the first and last miles each way. That's brutal and insane. We should not have to live this way.
