    I was thinking that it sounded about right, until I read beyond the headline:

    Its value is approximately one hour, or half an hour for a one-way trip.

    WHAT. I thought he meant one hour each way!

    Are there any cities where that is the norm??? I’ve had sub-30 commutes in my life, and it felt like the height of luxury.

    I had a 1.5 hour (one way) commute for a while, and I was burned the fuck out after a year of that. It takes a toll on your health.

      This is my current hell. When I started it was 3x/week so it wasn’t too bad, but now it’s 4, and there’s a “rumor” that it’s gonna go back to full time in at some point. Thanks for the motivation to get my next certification as fast as possible I guess, because I’m already working on exit strategies.
