Trains are a much more desirable way to get to work than driving is.

I’m counting down the months until my work relocates to our new head office. I can say goodbye to the 35-75 minute commute (each way), and have a reliable ~60min train ride.

Sure it might take longer, overall - but I’ll be able to relax by reading a book, taking a nap or playing a game. I’d much rather that than deal with the anxiety of bumper-to-bumper traffic in a sea of SUVs filled with inattentive drivers.

I literally drive past at least one accident every day on my way to work. The Monash Highway in Victoria, IYKYK.

taking a nap

Well, I see you don't live in America lol.

That highway is in Melbourne, Australia. I fell asleep on a train in Australia once as a kid and for some reason had my shoes off. When I put them back on I crushed a cockroach that had snuck inside. As long as you check your shoes before putting them on, you should be just fine taking a nap on an Australian train.

Bro, EW lmao.

Tbf, you could probably sleep fairly safely on a lot of trains in the US. That said, it's entirely too frequent, when I ride my area's transit, that I see some wild shit that I'd really prefer not be asleep around.

TBH I have also fallen asleep on the NYC subway and the worst thing that happened was I missed my stop and accidentally went super far in the wrong direction
