Where I grew up 1 and 2 hour commutes each way many via public transportation are common and well accepted.
The key words here are “via public transportation”. On a train, you can read a magazine, a book, relax, close your eyes, chat with the guy next to you, etc… Versus sitting by yourself in a deathtrap burning gasoline wondering if this will be the day you join the 50000 of your fellow Americans that die in auto accidents every year. Big difference. Driving is extremely stressful and dangerous, especially on a busy high-speed freeway like the 15. So many people are injured and killed every year, yet that’s rarely considered when someone signs themselves up for an hour commute.
