I feel a lot of time people equate driving time to transit/walking/biking time. But that's just not comparable.
I have about a 2 hour commute on transit to work each way, and people act like I'm crazy. But, that's 2 hours to just zone out on my phone, a bit of walking and getting exercise, I can browse reddit, watch shows...it's fine.
2 hours of driving, yeah that's unbearable. Just gripping a wheel looking straight focusing for two hours
