The oil company, the bank and the car parts company want you to spend even more time commuting by car. (lemmy.ca)

They are trying hard to make you not notice you're spending a week of your life driving each year.

Depends on city. Me driving from outer metro to Vancouver is 1:30 due to traffic. Taking the bus is 2 hours because of walking time where bus route doesn't fully service area. Would probably be equal with full service.

For me, that's a small enough difference that I'd be fine with taking the bus even if it's a longer commute time, because I can zone out/nap/read/whatever on the bus, but not if I'm driving

Yeah, I prefer it too. Read, catchup on email, enjoy the scenery
