Either public transport (30min) or bike (25min), but also often study/work at home. Biking only on dry days though and less in winter. Also not too early in the morning, I really hate to ride when sleepy xD

I drive currently, but would much prefer public transport. Unfortunately it isnt an option for me because I start at 4:30AM and buses don't run until 6. It's about a 15 minute drive, would be 25 on the bus (if they started early enough).
I go by train. I guess it's about the same as car, since I need to walk quite a bit to reach a parking space
Unfortunately by car. My place of work has terrible public transport connections. It takes me about as long to get to the nearest stop as my car commute takes in total (20' per direction). Last summer I re-ran the numbers taking into account the use of an e-scooter and found that it pretty much reaches parity with the car. So I got one, tried it and loved it. Now they've started to overhaul the entire rail line and I would be stuck using the busses which again is much longer than the car commute (40' there 50' back).
Tram, 15min commute
I go by car in half an hour instead of 2 hours of public transport. Congestion also adds 15 minutes at most to my commute, but a canceled train can easily add an hour.
The perks of not living in a city I guess.
That moment when a train is cancelled or just slightly delayed, so you'll miss all your connecting rides, horrible.
If you go by car: Why are other modes not an option for you (e.g. public transport)? What would need to be done for you to switch?
I need to carry things around, be flexible - if needed. For me, it would need faster routes to get to work, plus a company car, i could take if needed.
In general: How long does your journey take?
With the car: about 12-15min, with public transport about 40min
