Depending on your personal situation and goals, cycling to work could be a solution. 12 miles works out to 20km, which for me would amount to less than an hour of cycling time with good equipment. As a bonus, you'll arrive home with an empty head and you'll already have exercised!

Depends if cycling is practical. Many places don't have the weather, topology, or traffic for it. It would frustrating and bad for my health (pollution) to cycle to work in my current city (beijing) while I did nothing but in my previous coy (Lausanne, even with the hills).

I do not want to sound flippant, just really practical, as I'm also in China (not Beijing) but sometimes have a somewhat long commute. Would it be possible to have a conversation =to argue time in the taxi, with laptop open and on a mobile connection was morning emailing time, and get the taxi charged to the company if it is a regular thing.

I just do shift based on core hours I need to be in the office, as does everyone in the company.

My company doesn't reimburse taxi fare, I just see it as worth the cost. I do shift my hours to make it worse, but line 10 is so crowded during peak, I'd have to anyways.
