Question

Tim's commute never bothered him because there were always seats available on the train and he was able to spend his 40 minutes comfortably reading the newspaper or catching up on paperwork. Ever since the train schedule changed, the train has been extremely crowded, and by the time the doors open at his station, there isn't a seat to be found.

Answer 1

We come to know from the passage that Tim's commute didn't bother him because he was always able to sit down and comfortably read or do paperwork.

Hence, it is reasonable to assume that Tim's commute has become less comfortable since the schedule change because it is very crowded and he can no longer find a seat and enjoy his journey.
