commuting

My friend Anna has been commuting to the city for three years , so she knows the route well . If she lived closer , she would spend less time on trains and could relax more in the morning . Despite the long trip , she often uses the time to read or reply to messages , which makes the journey feel useful . The daily commute is sometimes seen as stressful , but improvements in public transport have made it more comfortable . Many people choose flexible hours because it helps reduce traffic and gives them a calmer start to the day .
