I'd second the idea of a folding bike. That would give you mobility to the station and mobility downtown. That would probably produce only a slight increase in your total commute time, yet provide you with more options than you have now (along with excercise benefits). If I had the prospect of several hours a day of commuting (by any transport mode), I would move, change jobs, or both.

If I move I lose the real joint custody I have now, and I cannot easily change jobs to one nearer. The folding bike idea is interesting, but I don't think I could even get a folding bike onto the bus. They don't open the luggage compartments below, and the racks overhead are too small for a folding bike.
I appreciate the thinking though. thanks.
