This is one of my favorite parts of the days I travel to NYC for my CPE job. Between subway and walking, I can get 3-4 hours of audiobook time in round trip.

Driving really long distances in SD was actually, ironically, what got me into it! When I got here and it was literally a 5min drive or bike ride I was like "but when am I going to listen to my Great Courses?"
I live close to the Amtrak station in Baltimore, which puts me close to all the local transport, too. But being car-free a mile or two further east or west would be a lot harder, I think... Plus, the wait for light rail and buses in the evenings is so long and unpredictable. I bike a lot of Lyft..
I live in Dundalk and work in Odenton, so even if none of the bus lines were delayed, it would still take over three times the time to walk and take transit than it would to drive to work. I really feel the pain of Hogan vetoing the Red Line out of spite.
And all the issues with public transit in Baltimore City are exponentially worse in the County by design. Gotta love racism (structural and otherwise) killing the plan of a City/County Metro system.
