Mass transit has trade-offs. It costs less money, but getting places can take longer. Then again, there are great things to do with that extra time!

There’s a lot of talk about the dangers of distracted driving these days. We’re just not that good at multitasking, so when we drive a car to work, that’s about all we can safely get done.

If you commute by mass transit, though, your time is yours! Here are 5 of the best things to do with that time.

1. Make yourself something.

On The Huffington Post, we read about Redditor “alkikat”. She crocheted her own wedding dress during her morning bus commute over a five-month period!

2. Communicate creatively.

One of our favorite examples of a better commute is the blogger October Jones. He uses his time to create happiness, whether he’s turning his fellow commuters into cartoons or spreading positive attitudes.
