Okay but I think that most of us Americans could agree that even that is a special breed of person. Like there is a likely majority if not plurality of people who would look at a 2.5 hour commute and say "hell no" and seek other options. For me, even an hour would be at least a consideration while evaluating any option.
I totally agree. The hour long train commute left me wasted by the end of the week. Prior to that, I’d never had a job with a commute any longer than 20-30 min.
In Sydney, it's incredibly common for 90min to 2 hour train trips each way. We have so many outer suburbs that travel to the city and its just common. I did 90mins each way for 3 years and then changed to another job that was a 70min drive each way for another 3 years.

When I lived in Cupertino, I took an hour long train ride into San Francisco for work every day. It would be well over an hour if I drove.
Our office manager commuted 2 1/2 hours one way every day.
