> This is especially true in rural or far-flung suburban areas. There are ways of addressing this that do not involve increasing the likelihood that you kill yourself, though.

These are, of course, harder solutions. It is certainly easier in terms of policy to simply roll the dice and acknowledge that those who survive the commute are more fit for society by virtue of not being dead.
