Economy 52,844 Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 NGL i cant imagine taking public transportation when i start so early in the morning. My 15 minute morning commute would easily increase to 30-40 minutes if not more and on the way back maybe close to an hour Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I take taxi/Uber everywhere I go (when I do actually go out), personally. I can’t afford to drive even if I wanted to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obobo 3,984 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 It feels like the roads are way busier than pre-pandemic, especially on weekends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidrain71 1,477 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Thank God I have a permanent remote work job now so I don’t have to worry about commuting to office (I don’t like driving as well). In my previous job, I had to leave home at 4:15am in order to arrive on time at the office and clock in before 6:30am. My commute back home was on a different level though. I leave the office at 3:30pm and I usually arrive home by 6:30-7pm And this was pre-pandemic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
