I quite like my Commute I actually choose public transport over the car most of the time as I find I get some time to myself read a book, browse the web, write etc. It also gives me a chance to prepare for work and chill out after work.
On commutes I have studied for exams, prepared for many a meeting, presentation, thought about issues, chatted with friends all over the world,read up about alsorts of subjects that interest me, sorted out the Wife's Visa and countless other things..
I guess its about making the best of whatever you have in front of you..
