Ok I'll catch two buses and a train. Or three buses. I'll only have to wake up at 5am everyday and go to bed at 9pm after returning home at 8:30. Totally viable.

If only there was something with two wheels

Ride a bike for a 38 mile round trip every single day to another city and back when there is no bike lane connecting said cities?

Bikes just aren't viable for anybody who sweats like a bitch.

My workplace provides showers and lockers for staff who sweat on their way to work.

I can leave my smelly cycling gear in my locker and change into the work clothes I carried in, and wear the shoes I leave at work in the locker

38 miles mate. Ludicrous to even suggest it as an option.

38 miles on a bike is nothing lol
I know someone with asthma that does farther than that for fun

Yeah for fun, on a Saturday. Not every single day for a 9 to 5. You would have to be certifiably insane.

No. Sometimes on their way to work since it only takes a few hours to go 40ish miles.

It would take me 4 hours in total every single day. Absolutely zero chance.

Plus no way I'm going to work covered in sweat every day. I have a duty to look presentable.

One becomes faster as one cycles more
