My workplace is outside the city and unfortunately there's exactly one route for me to take due to a bunch of hills and the railroad getting in the way all over the place. The much longer route going through the next town over has a bit more variety in the end but the first half is a looooooong straight stretch of road.

Yes that would make the one route infinitely... well, worse. I don't live in a forest or desert.

It's fenced industrial area and harbour and, of course, the sea. With a bunch of railroad tracks crisscrossing everywhere. It's outside the city but it's not in the country, sadly.

There is a bit of wooded hills near the end but that's a military area because of course it is. Used to cut across there all the time some years ago but for some reason they don't seem to like it.

Come to think of it they didn't like me there much when I had actual business being there. The navy seems to have stricter rules on things like shaving and buttoning up your jacket, the bunch of tight-asses.

15 minute walk from home to the train station, half hour train trip on the train, 15 minute walk from the station to the hospital I work at.

Why no I don't have a car and yes it is because I'm desperately poor

Under ten minutes walking maybe, around 2 by car or 0 if working from home. I see the office from my balcony and could probably work from home without VPN if I could hook up a bigger antenna to the laptop.
