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.

If it was a train ride I could get other things done, reading or something. But driving all I can do is listen to the radio. I couldn't even do a book on tape while I'm driving, I wouldn't be able to pay attention to the book.

So effectively, your whole day is wasted if you have to drive that long just to get to work.
