That's why I prefer buses. Even if it takes much longer to go to destination, I can always listen to podcasts or watch something on YouTube.

I was debating it, but it's close to 2 hours with public transit, with no chances of it being faster.

I'd have to take one bus, one train, one subway, then another bus

That's why I don't prefer buses, especially if there are long delays in-between stops.

When I was younger I had to take the bus to work across town and it involved multiple transfers, long waits, and a 3 mile round trip walk. I had to leave my house at 4:30 am to be on the first bus of the day, which was 4:45 am, just to be at work at 7:10 am. If I missed the first bus by a couple minutes then I was automatically an hour late since they didn't start running every half hour until a couple hours later in the day.
