It's not that I think I'm too good for public transport, I just absolutely hate being near other people, especially ones I don't know. It's enough to endure 8 hours of office work, I'd rather be a hobo than commute.

I do own a e-bike as well as an EV, but I can only cycle to work pretty much half of the year, because snow/slush/ice, and even during summer and autumn, I take the car on days I'm going somewhere else than home straight from work (shop, gf, friends).

Public transport with closed separate sitting "boxes" is what it would take for me.
