No commute is better, but if you're going to have to commute, his commute is much better than most: 1 hour of walking and 1 hour by train.
For me, walking is by far the most pleasant way of commuting. Driving is way too stressful and eliminates the opportunity to multitask. If I bike, it pumps my energy level up too high, so it takes a while to calm down enough to get into the zone. Walking is the only way I can start doing productive work the instant I get to the office.
The huge advantage of the train is that you can work on the train if it isn't too crowded. That's a big if, but if it works and you have a cooperative boss, suddenly commuting time is no longer commuting time.
