No, because I work at home, without my shoes on, while sitting on the couch with my feet up, and LOL @ the fact people DRIVE AND PARK at work to work.

hilarious.

They do it in other cities too. Like Chicago, ATL, NYC etc. mostly for suburban parts but they do exist.

Would you prefer they just drive the whole way and not take the train at all?

People do crazy things in the name of commuting, especially in Southern California. I was even guilty on a few occasions, but didn't know any different. Most do it in the name of affordable housing (believe it or not, not everyone can afford to live in Beverly Hills), and believe it or not, driving TO the train may get them to their ultimate destination faster than sitting in traffic in a personal automobile would.

Some do it for the novelty. Some do it to decrease their carbon footprint, or some other strange (or prudent) reason.

I have a train opening up near my house later this year, and I will drive to it. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, it is a lot less stressful than driving, especially if sauced up after a sporting event/night out or something. You actually have time to think and stuff.

Driving all the way for sure. Would much rather be in the comfort of my car than ride the train with a bunch of hobos.

No, because I'm retired and even when I wasn't I always worked very close to home.

You know what? Your threads are obnoxious. Notice I said your threads and not you so it wouldn't be a personal attack.
