When I worked in a big city and lived in the suburbs, I opted to bike to the subway station, and take the train to work over driving. Much more relaxing of a commute, and about the same transit time.
Not so bad. The crazies provide free entertainment. I really don't like people who eat on subways, or any public transportation though.
Living in the Bat area I get it. Parking in Frisco is nuts. I know a guy who owns a stellar price of property there and has no personal parking. He still has to drive around the block every once in a while…
