For around 3 months I had a commute of 5~6 hours a day. It involved bus, train, subway and a small part walking (~15-20 minutes) During the same time I was getting my driving permit, so I was adding time to attend classes, etc
It was pretty awful, I had to wake up to catch the 4:30 bus most of days to be at work at 7:30, and then got home at around 8pm
Once I had car permit, I was able to reduce it to 1:30 each trip (if you avoid traffic jams), which is also bad, but felt like a huge improvement.
After 2 years in that situation (with a lapse in another work at around 20m by car), I'm now able to walk to work in 30 minutes. It feels AMAZING :-P
