ADDED NOTE:
In my posted I mentioned using tools to heat-map travel times to select residences for optimized commutes.
Here’s a great writeup of “isochrone map generator” tooling:

Here is an example, note outer bubbles tied to faster roads:

Similar map, with outer bubbles tied to commuter rail:

So for instance we selected our office to be at an Interstate off ramp and also at a commuter rail station, and I selected my residence to be two blocks up from one exit away against rush hour traffic, and another commuter rail station. Note that when there’s a train, if I don’t count waiting, the train is faster than the car. Unfortunately, trains “on average” make you wait for 1/2 the time between trains, and in the US, the train and the delay may not be predictable.
