Because it's a city bus, and I get off before the city, it's usually pretty empty. If I had a laptop, I would definitely use it, as some of the newer buses have free wi-fi. I generally do planning for assignments in that thirty minutes. On the way home, I have to take two buses, and that can take up to an hour and a half. It takes about 20 minutes to get a seat (there are about 30 kids from my school that take the same bus, needless to say, we aren't liked very much). In this time, I listen to recordings of presentations I have coming up (We seem to have at least one every week). The second bus is usually quite empty, so I either read a book that I've picked up from the library while waiting for the second bus to come (its great that the stop I wait at is so close), or I write, usually short story. How long I can go for depends on the driver, and how reckless they are around bends. I get car sick when I read or write in buses that aren't slow or straight.

I often have to take a train from Sittard to Wagenigen. It takes about 3hours, a long journey. So reading is a MUST for me, if I don't want to get bored on train I also find reading on the train is a good use of time. I often have to take a train from Sittard to Wagenigen.

(I live in Groningen, well, that says enough ;)) And if I am going to travel more than 10 minutes by bycicle, I get my iPod and put an audiobook on it and listen while on the road. Works perfect for me, and I do get some information while commuting!You can even put your school work on it, as I described in<a href="http://studysuccessful.com/ipod-studying/" rel="nofollow"> 'iPod Studying'</a> Hey Niels,

problem for me is that I spend about 15/20 minutes getting to the train station by bike then another 15/20 minutes in the train, then 10 minutes in the bus

so I don’t have the convenience to spend 50 minutes in one place
obviously I can’t do much while on my bike
and the bus is too crowded to even try to open my laptop

15 minutes in the train isn’t much, I usually spend that with email, facebook, hyves, twitter, linkedin, rss reading and sometimes I play some videogames
all of that on my iphone, gotta love that thing
