Depends on the type of travel, right? I have one direct train for 45 mins plus little bit of walking/biking. Love it, but I guess it's easier with a flexible schedule to avoid rush hours and finish some work in the train. (And compared to living in the city I live in a family house near the woods for the same price as a studio apartment in the city).
The short time I had to teveel by car was really fucked up though, but the train is pretty comfy.
Yeah it depends on the circumstances and mode of transportation. Back in my home country, I used to drive 2 hours to travel 25 kilometers, and that's one way through very heavy traffic. A train ride where you can sit (and even sleep) is definitely less stressful and tiring.
I'd assume driving would be the worst for mental health since you don't get any exercise and can't do anything else either. You can finish some work or read a book on the train, or get some exercise through walking or biking, but with cars none of these.
