My coworker says his commute is 2-3 hours by car so I suggested he take the train which would take around 45mins. He kept making excuses on why he couldn’t and later asked me why I ride my bike to work instead of driving.
Some people just cannot take public transit seriously.
Also, your time argument only makes sense with tame numbers. Trips often take 2-3 times longer by public transit. Yeah I can read a book on the train but I can’t cook my dinner, do my laundry, or clean my apartment.
