Driving Hwy 26 would have taken longer

That's valid for your area but it's very circumstantial.

Commuting by car on any kind of busy road is horrible for your health.

I guess for some, but I've been driving in this kind of traffic for a decade, it doesn't phase me.

snagged a seat (or stood on really busy days)

Personally I'd rather sit comfortably in my driver's chair for 40 minutes, listening to podcast or something in the privacy of my car, than stand in a crowded train for 20 minutes.
