Ah yeah, apologies, I'd assumed you were talking about within city transport even though you didn't say that!

Maybe I'm lucky in my commute, I live in a small town in the UK, and head into London once a week- if I do miss my train it's about 20 minutes until the next at peak times.

I honestly can't think of anything worse than trying to do that journey driving though, it'd be twice as long, and very expensive to park etc.
