You are absolutely correct, but there is a really weird addendum to this.
There have been a bunch of studies trying to measure the relationship between commuting time and (subjective) quality of life. Most of them find exactly what you'd suspect: longer commutes reduce quality of life.
The weird thing is that they found a small uptick at the absolute extreme edges of commuting, like in the 5+ hour a day range. It's still shittier than a 30 minute commute, but it was better than a 4 hour commute. Nobody really seems to know why this is, but it's there.
Either way, I walk to work. There are few better ways to commute, IMHO.

- village-idiot 8y agoBicycling also requires more concentration. I regularly read a book while commuting, which is nice. Personally, my commute would be too short with a bike. I like a good 20-30 minutes between home and work to clear my head and get in/out of the zone. But that's just me.
- KozmoNau7 8y agoI could never read a book while walking, at the very most I'll listen to music, but I also wouldn't do that while biking. Personal limits of multitasking, I guess :-)
