‘I made curtains on the train’: the commuters livening up their journeys (www.theguardian.com)

The pandemic opened the eyes of many to the benefits of running or cycling to work – or “active commutes” – and some have kept up the habit.

No longer content with long drives or boring train rides, commuters have been seeking ways to make their journeys more productive and enjoyable.

It always seems weird seeing most people in busses/trains doing nothing. That's one of the biggest advantages of having someone else drive you.

Is enjoying the view not doing something? It’s not really something you get to do nor appreciate if you’re driving yourself.

Sure, I guess I included the subway in "trains". Most of my commute does not really have a view.

Hey, I appreciate the view of a concrete wall as it wizzes past you, every once in a while is a door even!

Yeah definitely not doing that underground, so yeah fair point in those cases haha.

Well, if it's a regular commute, you'll soon have seen everything there is to see...

Eh, people watching is always new, the scenes change depending on the sun and weather. Flowers don’t bloom forever. Lots to keep the view unique everyday.
