I think the experiment is unfair. It should be done outside of a train station where people are in a hurry and often need to make bus connections.

I really do need to catch the next train to arrive and I really do need to walk to the end of the platform before getting on to save time and get a seat. If I miss a train it may take 15 minutes for the next one. On the way home, that means missing my bus.

I've noticed some wonderful musicians in the station, but they sit a city block away from where I need to walk.

I suppose I could give myself extra time to get to work, but that's not going to happen.

A vacation day or day off would be very different. I've purchased CD's before.
