Oh no, if my car breaks down I hire another car. Anything else would be
a severe PITA. The local bus service doesn't get into the city until
0930 for example.

The point I was trying to drag from some would be that arriving a little
late is better than simply not trying?

A very simplistic PoV.

When I last could not get to work, I did what I could from home. That
probably achieved between half and three-quarters of my usual work. Had
I spent hours getting to work - and allowed similar for the return
journey - I might not have managed anything!
