You seem to have picked the town that is furthest away from an Autobahn in Southern Germany.

There are plenty of small towns along the Rhine or near the Bodensee that are commutable to Zurich.

People commute to Geneva from France too.

The tram in Geneva goes to the French border, that's not comparable!

How about Lindau? 80 miles from Zurich across the large body of water? Google shows 2:30-3 hours of morning commute by transit.

Nobody here is saying that for any town within 80mi of Zurich, the commute time is short.

I'm sure you can find dozens of examples where it isn't.
