My commute lasts anywhere from 1.5-2hours (NJ-NY). While I respect that this article found that Taiwanese commuters who used public transport tend to be slimmer than those who use cars, I personally find that spending 3-4 hours a day commuting interferes with my ability to actually get in physical exercise that would allow me to be slimmer in the first place! I don't dispute the accelerated learning bit- I've recently started taking out my laptop and trying to learn Go while commuting and it's been mostly productive. I had to block reddit on my phone first though...
