I am starting soon and the place I was looking at involved a 1 hr bus commute each way from Downtown Madison (basically at the capitol). Is this a typical commute for people without cars? Is it worth it or should I just pay more to live closer? Also if I do carpooling (without myself driving), would it just be expected I pay something per month? I’m not relying on the carpool option primarily since I don’t have a car.
