In a previous role in the late 80's I "commuted" between Wellington and Auckland quite a few times on the RNZAF's SATS service.

They used C130 Hercules and Andovers with parachute bench seats mainly.

Rather than being given a headset you were handed a pair of ear defenders and the in-flight catering was a strong brown paper bag with a apple and a sammie of some sort. The bag could be used for other purposes if things got rough (but I was never called on to use it that way ;) ).

Every flight was a bit of an adventure till eventually they bought a couple of 2nd hand Boeing 757 airliners then it was just another commercial flight.

I used to commute Aylesbury to Hitchin - thats about 36 miles.  Quickest I ever did it was 54 minutes.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Wlak 15 minute to metrobus stop. Take metorbus for 6 minutes, walk 5 minutes to shuttle stop. Take shuttle for 30-40 minutes depending on traffic.
