But you can fall asleep and wake up at work with public transportation.

Only if you can even get a seat, and don't have to change buses/trains.

Noone is waking you for your stop lol.

[kgermino]

Your phone can.

Beyond that, you may be surprised how many people would wake you up for your stop. Especially in US Commuter Rail systems people tend to follow similar habits and get to know each other over the years. Even on a normal city bus I quickly (months) got used to the pattern of the same people getting on and off at their various stops. If you’re asleep at your stop someone can usually nudge you

You could set an alarm. Worst case there is a delay and you wake up slightly early. The subway isn't going to magically go significantly faster.

This seems like a cool app. A bus route aware, "wake me 3 minutes before my stop" vibrate app.

When I had the luxury of taking public transportation to work, I did wake someone up once.

I personally can't fall asleep on trains.

They might if you live and work at the end of the line.

Have you tried asking other passengers?
