Maybe start with a change in mindset. Write a gratitude list. Instead of "my commute goes from 15 minutes in a car to an hour thirty by bus." 1) you have the freedom to commute - you're not sitting in jail; 2) you live somewhere that HAS public transportation so that if you do lose your license you can get to work; 3) you have a job

I have public transportation available to me and it would take me 45 minutes to get home from work but I can't take it due to traveling during the day for work so I have to drive. It takes me at least an hour to get home in my car in bumper to bumper traffic. I would gladly trade sitting in that for public transportation. Where I can close my eyes and rest, I can read or meditate or surf the net on my phone or do a crossword puzzle or look out the window.

It's perspective. It's not the end of the world.
