There was a famous public transport in Holland. You have a canal, and
there is a boat "trekschuit" drawn by a horse alongside the canal,
"jaagpad". Bring your laptop and you can do a lot of work travelling.
Much more comfortable than the diligence.
 Make Holland Great Again. The speed was 5 km/h or less. At least that
was a functioning society.

I don't see the obsession with finding as many possible minutes to
"do work" as possible.  Why can't you ride the canal reading a book
or *chatting* with someone?  I'm sure "work" will be waiting when
you get there...
Will your work day be SHORTENED by an equivalent amount of time you
spent working while traveling?
[It must be awful to be a regular employee, nowadays -- your boss
expecting to be able to contact you on YOUR phone (that you, no
doubt, carry on your person 24/7!).  If I was still working a
9-to-5, I'd have a "work phone" -- that I left IN MY DESK!]
