I'm not OP, but I have a ~45 minute commute in New York city on the subway. It's one of the places where I can actually relax, read a book, listen to a podcast, and nobody needs me for anything.

(I'd loathe it if I had to drive, though.)

Yeah, one job entailed a 1hr ride on the commuter rail each way. I could read a book again!
