I hate driving, but I hate crowded and delayed trains and commutes to train stations even more. I would prefer a nice leisurely commute that starts not far from my door and where I can sit down and which does not require much attention from me. I used to take a bus to work that arrived empty and had a stop right outside my apartment. Those were the days.

I don't mind planes. They are cramped but not crowded in that you at least get your own seat and your own space.

On train/bus/plane rides I generally play a handheld gaming system or read a book. They are great opportunities to catch up on these things because you are basically stuck there for the duration and can do little else. I enjoy those moments, though.

I cannot wait for these driverless cars! As long as they are built like tanks to absorb crashes from all the old school folks who will cling to manual driving, sign me up.
