It is not the only way to travel, but I can either take my car to work or spend twice as long + wait time for the bus. It is something like a factor 1.5 to get to my parents and over 2 to my grandparents, much more if they can't pick me up and I have to walk the last 3 miles[0] from the bus stop. I don't know what the multiplier is to my brother, but it is likely to be quite high. [0]: it can be done, it just takes quite some time.
