The only job I've commuted to by car was, um, the summer job I had when I had my learner's permit when I was 18 or something.
I don't have a car, I've not driven a car with my full driver's permit, I think you need to renew it nowadays and I've not bothered with that for a couple of decades. We have buses here, why bother.
I rode the bus to work for a couple summers. My city is so spread out and bus service is so limited that I had to catch the only express bus there and back. It got me to work an hour before it opened and I had to leave an hour before it closed for the day, and it took 45 minutes to an hour to by bus to do what would have been a 20 minutes commute by car.
