The drive is not the deciding factor here.

2 minutes separates the closest Buda community from the furthest, which over a year of commuting is not enough to override a rent difference or a floor plan you prefer. Pick on the apartment. The table is below anyway, since 2 minutes is still 2 minutes twice a day.
