What's your long commute story? Come list them here.

The reason to push for WFH is so that people who can't WFH (retail, medical, other blue collared) can go to their work without facing this congestion.

I take the train instead of drive to office and still the long commute (3-4 hours per day) is burning me out. All for jobs that not only can be fully done at home, but also can be done much more efficiently from home because all the chatter and distractions in office. Luckily managed to push for WFH on certain days of the week, so that I can work more on WFH days because I can’t get shit done on WFO days.

I take the train as well due to the time taken for me to drive to work is roughly the same time needed through public transportation. I still feel tired, and I don't know how others drive to work everyday. Through this congestion.

Yeah I drove to work from Kajang to KL every day many years ago. Definitely prefer taking the train. But it’s still a needless waste of time and energy.

.......I feel tired just reading that. It's almost as bad as Klang going KL.

That’s still small case compared to some others. One of my friends used to drive from Nilai to PJ every day.

And I got a colleague who travels from Pulau Ketam to KL every day…
