My wife needs half an hour if she leaves by 6:30 AM and an hour if she leaves an hour later, and
two hours if by public transportation because there is no direct route from where we live to where
she works. I need 15 minutes to get to the airport, or 20 minutes to get downtown if I leave before
6 AM, but over an hour if I leave after 7:30. But since I work in a different country almost every day, I
sometimes need four hours to get to work, combining car/taxi, train/plane and public transportation
once I get to the city I have to be in that day.

The ones to really pity are the ones in suburbs of big towns like Hamburg, München, Frankfurt or
Berlin. To get into town by car at rush hour can take 90 minutes easily. Same goes for London,
Paris, Brussels. The whole of the Netherlands can be one big traffic jam during the week.
