Since moving to San Diego, I've been doing most of my commuting by public transit. This wasn't an option in Chicago where the transit links connect only to and from downtown.
When we were renting in Oceanside, the commute was similar to what you describe, except I had to drive to one of two train stations., usually taking The Kid to school on the way.
Now, I drive to a bus station and catch one bus that drops me right outside my office. Last summer I'd walk to and from the bus, but that isn't practical when it is dark for one leg or the other, even when I don't have the school run.
Qualcomm partially subsides my monthly pass, and I get to use some pre-tax income, which makes public transit cheaper.
