    When I wasnt able to work from home, I would have to get a train and a bus.

    There was no direct link - train like to the wrong side of the city, then a bus through the city to the office.

    The train and bus were absolutely rammed full during rush hour. The whole trip was around 2 hours.

    If I drove, I could take the motorway directly and be there in 25-30 mins

    Public transport is great until you have to take multiple hops on extremely busy, infrequently running services which arent even direct

      It’s worth pointing out that this not a function of public transit but rather of car-centric design where private vehicles are the fastest and most convenient means of transportation. It also harms those who cannot afford a private vehicle and those with disabilities preventing them from driving.
