I live in San Jose and commute into downtown SF three days a week (fortunate to have a manager who allows 2 WFH/work from SJ office days a week).
My commute is typically 1.5-1.75 hours each way per day, door to door, and that excludes days when Caltrain has some incident or another.
But right now I pay a third what I'd be paying, at least, to live closer. I get to save a lot more money, which is nice, but the commute is awful when you realize you're basically throwing away 4 hours a day on the commute. I'm not the type that can get work done on the train either; it's hard enough sitting comfortably for an hour when people elbow me because they think they own the middle arm rest and beyond into my space.

- spike021 9y agoIn the mornings when I luck out and get the older trains I always try to get those single seats. But it's tough to luck out and get that rather than the slightly newer stock (I take the bullets). Wish the newer trains (and the next gen ones coming in the next decade) had single seats. Rather unfortunate.
