You can get things done on a train that you can't if you need to focus on walking or biking. By the time I arrive at work I've gotten through my emails and read the days headlines.

Depends on the train type and crowdedness.
Similarly, I've taken to using UberPool during winter because, while it's a little slower, it gives me back 1-1.5 hours per day of productive time, for a marginal cost of $2-3 beyond the subway cost.
Granted, and vice versa: you can do things walking or biking that you can't do on a train. Eg get a regular amount of exercise.
Less than 200 calories burned from these activities, not a good source of regular exercise.
Are calories burned the one and true way to measure whether exercise is "good"? Are you saying biking is not a good exercise?

Which wasn't possible 10-15 years ago before ubiquitous smartphones and cellular data.
