This is a false dichotomy, no? Driving somewhere for 30 minutes means you waste 30 minutes of your life in transport. Taking a train somewhere for 50 minutes

This is a false dichotomy, no?
Driving somewhere for 30 minutes means you waste 30 minutes of your life in transport.
Taking a train somewhere for 50 minutes means you can do something else for 50 minutes. Read a book, browse the internet, write a poem, whatever.
