I understand what you meant.
In our case, his office is not in the city. It would take him > one hour to go to the city at the rush hour and another hour to get out of the city for work.I really dont think it is necessary. He has dropped me off at the most convenient bus station he can. Usually the express bus comes on time and it only takes 20 min to get to the city. For some reason, it was running late today. That's why it took so long. I did not make it very clear at the beginning. My fault! ^^
