Crush hour, caged chooks and cruelty to commuters

To get to work I can walk two kilometres, wait for a packed bus and stand for 50 minutes to reach the city ("Crush and load: life on a peak-hour train", June 1). Or I catch a bus to wait 25 minutes at a station that a train might stop at, then stand for 55 minutes to get to the city. Or I can ride my motorbike for 30 minutes.
