Worlds Best Commute?

Ah the life of a commuter. When I have to be in NYC 2-3 days a week I usually take the 6:05 train from Bethpage which gets me into Penn Station a little before 7am. While I don’t mind it (most days), I can’t imagine doing it 5 days a week. However according to Forbes there are cities that are more pleasant than others…and unfortunately NYC did not make the top 10.

You can arm yourself with an iPod full of movies, install fine leather seats and satellite radio, and convince yourself some poor sap has a commute worse than yours.

Except that isn’t likely to improve it.

Chances are, those traveling to work in Hong Kong, Berlin and Osaka, Japan, don’t need to adopt such tactics. That’s because their commutes are among the world’s most reliable, cheap and efficient.
