    I take the express train. I don’t want my one hour commute to be a two hour commute because they stop for five minutes every 8 minutes and have to get back up to speed. I already have to wake up ten minutes earlier to take the light rail, change trains to a local, take that three stops to a hub, and change to the express train. I should just buy a car.

      Oh damn. That kind of sucks :/ do you often forget things at home?

      I really enjoy commuting by train + bike, it is really cheap and kind of fun to be active before and after work. But my commute (at least the train part) is quite a bit shorter.

      Depending on weather or track maintenance/construction I often think about getting a car as well. But then I remember how stressful commuting by car is and that thought is gone

        One time I did all my grocery shopping for the month by train but I had to bring six friends to help carry everything home and I had to pay for all their tickets there and back. I bought them all dinner for wasting hours in their day to do what one person could trivially accomplish with one car. It actually ended up being cheaper to just pay the premium for instacart and tip the driver.

          What does any of that have to do with trams that run every 5 minutes 🙄

          Edit: oh, I see, you’re just a troll trying to stir up shit. Please get banned soon, thx.

          Why the fuck would you do all your grocery shopping for a month all at once? Do you not live anywhere near civilization?
