Wait times are inevitable when you use public transportation (my daily commute incorporates three different types, one-way), so I try to carve out little treats for myself in the event that I'm stuck waiting for a long time.
I order ahead on the Starbucks app so I have a coffee waiting for me at the nearest Starbucks when my train arrives at the station. Or if there's a huge delay, sometimes I'll get a manicure at a nearby nail salon so that I can wait out the worst of the overcrowding and wait times.
It's double self-care: avoiding the stress of a long and crowded commute, and treating myself to a nice experience at the same time.
