Comment Train and Wire (Score 1) 887
I'm a consultant, so I occasionally drive to client sites. Most weeks, though, I take the train into NYC two or three days and work from home the remaining days.
I'm not gonna lie, an hour train ride (on MTA Metro North) really sucks. But it's a whole lot less painful than actually driving into the city, not to mention cheaper (and I'm not even considering the cost of parking).
Telecommuting, on the other hand, is pretty sweet. I have a dedicated office so I get all the peace and quiet I need, and frankly I get more work done here than I ever would either in the city or at a company office.
