As a Londoner I can tell you straight up that commuting together does not build community and solidarity
That's because English. I've had very nice journeys where I've chatted with perfect strangers on Spanish trains, and to a lesser extent in other countries in Europe. You do want to understand the unspoken codes that signal "let's talk" or "leave me the fuck alone". Same happens in bars, for example. But yeah, my experiences in trains in Spain have been generally great, with the odd near horror story.
More so than driving.
