From there, I could bus to within a few hundred yards of my office, or have someone pick me up. All told, it would cost as much and take several hours.
If I took public transportation, I think it would take like 2.5 hours one-way with all the links. Not viable unless I could get over half of my work done on the way. I think they have "working commuter" trains in Europe (Sweden?!?!) with full Internet access to the office. Does the Metrolink offer something like that?

In the old days, I would drive 7+ miles to Fox Hills Mall, park, and bus the other 7+ miles into UCLA. I think that was a good compromise because I missed the "hard" Westwood traffic and could relax/study/sleep on the way.

But I wouldn't feel safe computing on a bus.
