I used to commute like this, around 90 minutes each way on a public bus down a motorway in Western Sydney, Australia, into the city centre. For huge portions of the Sydney workforce, there isn't any other choice as house prices within 20mi of the centre are well over 1.2m on average. Even 35mi out where I lived previously the average was still 1m. I've since realised after moving closer into the city renting that the extra rent does buy me an improved quality of life with my now 30min commute via train, and just for that I'll keep paying it. I'm truly grateful that technology afforded me that luxury, it really was killing me before in lost sleep and stress.
