I'd assume driving would be the worst for mental health since you don't get any exercise and can't do anything else either. You can finish some work or read a book on the train, or get some exercise through walking or biking, but with cars none of these.

I drove a diesel engine car for a while and felt everyone was so SLOW even on the fast lane, as if they're sightseeing or something. Then I tried a gasoline car and I noticed that I have a better temper. Turns out the diesel engine vibration is more noticeable at low RPM and it's getting to my nerves.
