I traveled for three long hours

When I was going home this afternoon, it took three (3) long hours of travel due to the heavy traffic. If there is no traffic, the traffic will take more or less one (1) hour only. Being a commuter, I rode in a van from SM City North going home. We left at around 3:30 pm.. It's so crowded inside since the man beside me is big, It was hard for me to move even to get my mobile phone from my bag. The woman in my other side kept on moving while the van was moving. Her wet armpit touched my upper arm. It was horrible. I wanted to arrive home immediately in order for me to take out of my shirt. When I arrived home at 6:30, I immediately removed my clothes and went direct to the bathroom and took a bath. Then I was feeling fresh already. It's really hard for us commuters. We really don't have a choice. Taxi and GrabCar are too expensive for me.

In a country big like yours, the private hires will definitely be expensive especially if you are to travel for at least an hour.

Thankfully vehicles that hit the road are usually quite spacious here, I had it tough on the train once when my feet hurt and there was no place where to sit. Not even on the floor because it was that crowded. Glad the bath made you feel much better, I hope you also had a good rest later.

I always complained about travel times but I was always alone in my own vehicle and still never traveled to or from work for more than an hour each way. I wouldn't like someone's sweaty clothes touching me, either. I am glad you made it home safely, though.
