I live in Banglore with my parents and about 3 months ago I started a new job which is ~16kms away.
I am currently taking a ~₹70 Uber to the bus stop (15mins from home), taking a ₹35 bus about a KM (1hr +) until office, and then taking a ₹15 bus again (10 mins), and finally walk 5 mins to reach office. My total travel time is easily about 1.45hrs one way.
The job is pretty stressful and the connectivity on my way back isn't great so I end up taking a direct auto back (₹250-₹300).

I spend close to 8-9k a month on travel. This is the most convenient route but I end up having no time to myself to exercise or unwind at all.

Would moving closer make sense even though that would be mean a lot more spending?
