Reframing a salary negotiation due to additional commute times /u/pandaboi35 CSCQ protests reddit

I recently got an offer for a position that is 20k over my current with the possibility of a bonus (they estimated to be around 8k) – its a remote position with an office that is on average 1.5 hours away. So 3-4 hours potentially on a given day of total commute. Although its remote, it was “strongly encouraged” to show face probably twice a week. My current position is mostly remote and I may commute once a week into either an office that is 30 minutes away or at most 50 minutes away.

Is it wise to use commute as a factor in asking for more? I’m guessing not but wanted to hear how one might reframe this. The commute is a huge factor and I would not accept it at the current rate.
