When I do commute to work, I unfortunately take a bus after my train, so I'm affected by the traffic. I avoided commuting in December because the traffic was so bad it more than doubled my commute time from 1.5 hours to well over 3 hours. Thankfully I can work from home, but I do like working in the office with my team when I can.
I've had so many conversations with coworkers about not having a car, and most of them just don't get that yes public transport is slow, but it's only as slow as it is because everyone has a car. If more of those who are able to use public transport did, traffic would be so much less for everyone and public transport would be a fast option.
