Why not turn your commute into a 5 min drive to the station, then a book? Such a disconnect. If it was a 5 minute drive, in city, you could just walk there in 10. Parent effectively said "not close". So you suggest a 1 hour drive, a 2 hour train, instead of a 90 minute drive? (You also have to wait for the train to leave, wait for its stops along the way, and be there precisely on time (hence the wait at the start)). I find so many of the comments boil down to "I live deep in a city, never drive, and am in an entirely different geopolitical environment, but I know what makes sense for you!
