Those of you in Europe commute 2 hours one way to work?? I thought those
countries were so small that you could travel border to border in that time??
And what about this public transportation problem? When I was in England, the
public transportation was outstanding. Don't tell me that you have started to
create "suburbs" like us across the pond? As I recall, the typical European
lived in a tiny house or apartment in an urban environment.
BTW, it takes me at most 1.5 hours one way, and I live about 25 miles from my
workplace. This is using public transport exclusively. If I carpooled it
would take less than half that time. Hmm, maybe I should like into carpooling
again?
