I currently have a ~30 min commute by car and ~40 mins by train. I still pick the train because I can read stuff for 20 mins uninterrupted. I don't have to get worked up about traffic, someone merging without indicating, etc. But the same connection is scheduled every 10 minutes, so I don't need to plan around it. On my last job with a 15 minute car commute vs 30-50 minutes by bus (the bus was often not on schedule), I always picked the car. Especially because I can't read in the bus anyway from the way it moves. I might have picked the bus if it didn't only come every 15 minutes and sometimes be delayed by 20. Especially because connections then become less time intensive. Public transit works well when you don't need to check the schedule and can just go at any time, certain that your train will come in the next 3-5 minutes, and any connection does the same.
