Quite a few people do it. I agree that everyday it will wear you down and I wouldn't recommend it if you have a 9-5 five days a week job.

I can imagine people doing it (I know people with similar length commutes in the UK - for some that work in the city it's normal). Still getting up at 6 and getting home at 8 or 9 doesn't appeal to me - even if it's only a couple of days a week. This is probably because I've gotten used to walking to work for the last 5 years and commuting is not something I'd like to go back to - especially of that magnitude.

I could do it a few days a week. But only on transit. Then you can kick back and let someone else do the driving.

Ssshhh don't tell anyone.

Broadway & MacDonald = centre of the universe
22 Bus to Kits beach & downtown = so convenient

It's a great area for families, schools, beaches, UBC ...
