I don’t think that is an unreasonable travel time. If you can keep it around an hour that is quite doable. It’s the US we have cars as we need to drive everywhere.
For a time it is okay, but after a while it grinds. 2 hours a day wasted on nothing is not good. At least on a bus you can get some work done, but a car is just music or radio, but so much more you coukd do with that time.

I was doing it and was exhausted and thus determined to never do it again. Another friend said it had ruined his life. Another who did a 2 hour commute developed a panic disorder. It is work in and of itself, especially if your work is people.

If you are fine with it cool, but surely better to just live close to work and save that time of your life that will not come back.
