You've not said what you do, how long your commute is, what mode of transport you can take or anything, so its difficult to offer specific suggestions. I'm assuming you're driving, but if you had the option of train you could have that time to sit and work on freelance work on the laptop. If you had to drive, one option is to indirectly make money by perhaps working on your skills. If you're a coder, download some podcasts or audiobooks about new languages or techniques. Perhaps even study a different subject like soft skills or sales or something that could broaden your value in the marketplace?
