How does Veeky Forums commute to work?

I am trying to decide whether I want to drive or take the bus.

Driving
pros
>independent: can go where you want when you want without the need to reference timetables, wait around, rush in the morning, etc
>fast and convenient
cons
>costs of petrol, maintenance, registration
>requires intense concentration
>sedentary activity
>traffic
>paying tribute to parking monopolies every day

Bus
pros
>substantially cheaper than car travel
>active travel: can read books, use the internet, play games, etc.
cons
>sick people coughing, sniffling and sneezing constantly
>lack of personal space during peak hours
>inconvenient: regimented times of departure and arrival... forced to leave early and get home late
>slow: takes much longer to get to your destination
>being around a rogue's gallery of unpleasant people

Should I accept all the additional costs of car travel for comfort, or endure the irritations of bus travel for a few extra thousand dollars and use the time to read books?

Then there's best of both worlds if you're not autistic: try carpooling with someone

Read mrmoneymustache -- the true cost of commuting.

I'm going nocar and using light rail and/or busses and/or walking or bike. Fuck long commutes, just wasted time. Last thing I want after a long day of work is to spend an hour in traffic.

Should add motorcycle:

Pros
>Ride in HOV lane
>As cheap as a used car but cooler
>Cheap to fill up, a tank of premium cost me $9.33 last I filled up, lasts for a couple weeks
>haul ass if you're running late
>can legally ride between lanes in some states

Cons
>can only ride half the year if you're not in the south or southwest.
>Increased danger potential/risk
>Can fuck up your clothes/hair if your job needs you to be presentable

I still don't want a car. I'd rather get a bicycle and live close to work or school.

I've done both for extended periods.

I prefer public transportation, mainly because traffic downtown (where I work) sucks.

Traffic isn't as bad if you're not downtown, and public trans tends to suck between suburbs.

I also work from home 1-2 times per week (aka as much as I feel like I can get away with); that's really the best, and something I might consider if I wind up changing roles/jobs here in the next couple of years.

2.5 mile bike ride each way

noice

Only qualm is death cagers trying to kill you, the cold, the wind, and the rain. Fucking wind. Like goodbye 18+ mph, hello crawling speed.

>he doesn't take the metro to work

faggot

I walk to work. I live in a complex next to my office. About a 5 minute walk. No cons. I keep my car parked in my offices secure garage.
