It's about 3 hours to cross the country (Groningen to Rotterdam) on a train and that's assuming you live by the train station and your work is also near the station too, which is mostly not true. I know some people who commute for 1 hour and a half, but they aren't in the office really often.

Maybe that’s a reasonable commute to the US mind who isn’t used to work/life balance and likes spending unpaid hours in their car losing precious time with their family.

For me, a reasonable commute is a 10 minute bike ride to the office.
