I'm assuming that most of you are from the US so probably using cars, but lemme know if you use trains, subways, buses, etc.

Me? Back when I was doing an internship I walked to a nearby station for 10 minutes then transited to another train line, which could be an instant or 20 minutes wait. After that I walked for 10 minutes to my work place. So it was probably about 40 minutes of commute. Of course, I live in tropical country so I'm drenched in sweat as I arrive in the office.

Fortunately every year my city's public transportation seems to get better and as a result I barely needed to use cars.

I live in a small town near Amsterdam and work twice a week in the office in Amsterdam.

My commute is:

  • 3 minutes walk to train station
  • 24 minutes train ride
  • 12 minutes bike ride

What's the bike situation? Do you take it on the train with you or use an app or smthg?

I wonder if they park their own bicycle near the station. Not sure if that's even a thing

It's a thing.

We park the bike near the station. Each station has extensive room for bikes. Larger cities often have underground bike parking.
