Is it just me or is there something special about reading a book on public transport? (sh.itjust.works)

I don't know what it is but I feel like there is something especially enjoyable about reading on a train or bus. Like I would be fine with making my commute longer because it dosen't feel like wasted time since I am reading. Also its just nice to be stuck somewhere for a bit with nothing to do but wait and be forced to read.

I nearly exclusively read in public transport. My partner and I used to take the same bus to work. As soon as we sat down he got his earbuds to listen to a podcast and me reading a book. Lovingly ignoring each other ❤️

When I am in public transport and forgot to bring my book, I feel pretty bored.
