Less driving usually works.
Yeah, don't have that option. My commute is 40 miles each way with no public transportation options.
Might be cheaper to move!
I've moved before because of a commute; I lived in northeast suburbs of Atlanta, and was driving about 12 miles west, a commute that would take me roughly and hour and 15 minutes EACH WAY. Once my kid was born, we pulled up stakes and went back to Connecticut.
Look, I sell passenger trains for a living, and while I do use the train for certain applications, at least here in the northeast, it's not convenient. It's just not. I WANT to use it, and I would, but it's not practical. Busses are not even an option for me. I can't, like Chino said, tack an hour onto the end of each commute. I can be SOMEWHAT productive in that time, but not 100%, and there's still time lost. And god forbid if I had to give up DTF time!
