My commute was only about 20 minutes, so it was actually kind of a pleasant transition between each part of my day. I'd just use it to read and meditate. My previous one though was one of those 1-2 hour commutes by car that was just a complete nightmare. I can't imagine that is sustainable. It certainly wasn't for me.
1-2 hours by car would actually be preferable to my 2-3 hours by transit, but still bad.
A 20 minute drive to work would be awesome. One of my best friends traded in a commute similar to mine (NYC) for a 15 minute drive (SV) and is immeasurable happier for it.
