↳ In-reply-to » Driving to the office feels absolutely bizarre now. This car traffic … everyone acts like it’s a race track. Sheer egoism, everywhere you look: “I won’t let YOU pass, who do you think you are?!” It’s probably always been like that, I’ve just grown blind to it over time. 😳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Errr, yes, it’s a “no”, not a “now”. I mean, it’s still flextime, so I’m going a little slower this week or next week. So at least there’s that.

Your situation sounds “lovely”. It’s very similar here when using public transportation (1:00-1:30 hours for one way). The sad thing is, using a car really is a lot faster here: Best case is 20 minutes. And it’s usually realistic to actually complete that trip in 20 minutes if you avoid the rush hours – which I can, see “flexibility” above. (Well, unless thing’s don’t go my way and I miss the golden window. 😅) Best case with public transportation is still roughly 1 hour. The reason is simple: It’s just 16km, but the bus does not use the highway but crawls through the inner city.

Commuting just sucks. 🤣

(Also, lol @ “even bummeliger Bahn” 😂)
