A major new study claims the average journey by train or bus is more stressful than being a fighter pilot in combat, or a police officer in a riot. The researchers also say that as passengers' stress levels rocket, their brains switch off, leading to a condition they identified as "commuter amnesia".

It's actually frightening when you experience it. One day decided to transit down to school instead of riding the 30kms. I felt like I was going to explode at any moment. Bus went like 20kph, got stuck in traffic, stopped everywhere, more traffic jams. I swear I could've just got up and shot everyone with a pistol CS style.
