I arranged my commute to be a 40 minute bike ride each way when I lived in Mexico City.
Each day started with a pretty slice of happy city life, a hot tamale, and orange juice or atole. Each evening I stopped mid ride at a different farmers' market (each neighborhood has one on a different day) and picked up dinner ingredients or munched on tacos.
Every day I looked forward to the ride both ways.
The advice from the op is fine and you can design your own fantasy commute how you like, but Rule Number One is don't commute alone in a car.
Don't commute alone in a car.
Because that would stink.
- corin_ 15y agoWhile it can be a waste of time, and many people won't enjoy it, there are also plenty of people who say they love a quiet time driving, and genuinely enjoy it. I've never driven so I can't say for sure, but I suspect that when I finally bother to learn/get a car, I'll positively enjoy driving it. Plus, it doesn't have to be a waste of time, you can either use it as thinking time, listen to audiobooks/etc, or if you enjoy music, it can be a period of relaxing entertainment.
