Yeah, I'm in a similar position. When the Expo line was expanded to Santa Monica, I was actually working in the building next to the final Santa Monica stop. But my house wasn't on the train line, so I would have had to somehow get to the train to take it in, but I would have only been riding like 3 stops. It doesn't make sense to drive to the train in that case, and riding a bike wasn't a realistic options because of the traffic I'd have to get through. (There were parts that would have been dangerous for a bike.) On the other hand, my yearly mileage is around 4-6k miles, so I don't feel like I'm contributing too badly to the problem. A coworker of mine was out in South Pasadena and tried taking the train one day. His normally 45 minute commute turned into an hour and 50 minutes one way. There's no way that makes sense. I've since moved, as has our office. I still live about 3 miles from work, so overall very low mileage each year. I looked up bus schedules as both my house and work are near bus stops. My one-way commute time would go from about 15-20 minutes to 50-60 minutes. That's just stupid. I have a family I'd like to see and making my commute 3-4 times as long just isn't worth it. I'm all for public transportation, but if it doesn't go where I need to in a timely manner, it's useless.
