I opt for walking (even what most people would consider ridiculous distances) instead of using public transit in Austin. Mostly because it's all buses and one rail with no branching.
What annoys you about public transit?

It's very much context dependent on what counts as a "ridiculous distance". A 45 minute, 1 hour walk doesn't at all seem unreasonable to me, and I've walked places for 2, 3 hours when there's no time pressure

I have 1hr 30m roundtrip daily foot commute. I don't think it's unreasonable.
The looks I get from people when I tell them though makes me wonder if I've lost my mind.

Then ask them how long they spend driving to the gym and working out to get the exercise you get for free from your foot commute.

If they weren't usually fitter than me I would! :)

Haha, there's the rub. Well, you have the moral and intellectual high ground waiting for you on the other side of that insulin sensitivity that won't return your texts ;)

The best I can do now is say I get a lot of unprompted thinking done. Eventually I'll end my fling with unearned carbs.

You mean you walk 1hr 30min for both ways or you spend 3 hours per day walking?
Either way, impressive.

Always something, frequent delays, interruptions in schedules, or recently the trains, I have to use to get to work, have gotten shortened in length and so seats for more or less the same number of people. Nah.
