>we still want you to spend 12 hours a week crammed onto a bus or train

Your commute is 3 hours per day?!

That was easily my commute when I was working in London. I'd drive to the train station, take the train into London, then the tube within London and walk the last 10 minutes to the office. On a normal day it would take 1h40 each way. On a bad day it could be much longer.

That's nearly 17 hours over a 5 day week assuming no problems.

That's crazy. My "commute" is 30 minutes of walking each way. Could do it in 10 if I took the bus but I like the workout.
