Usually when someone comes with that argument, I ask them to pick any week date in the past year and then I take a random item on my calendar on that day; I give them the time and address of where I need to be as well as the address of my home and I ask them how long it's going to take me and how much it's going to cost. That's usually enough to bring them down a notch from "train work" to "sometimes train work". (But they tend to forget very often, they need to be reminded regularly for some reason). Do you want to play that game with me to get your reality check in order ?
Western Europe in a VERY dense city BTW.
