Yes: Various activities or situations could cause the urge to have a bowel movement related to your ibs. You should work with your primary physician or a gastroenterologist for treatments to help with your ibs symptoms.

Yes: Ibs is worsened by stress and if your commute to work is stressful then it could definitely be causing your ibs symptoms to worsen. However, the coffee you are drinking on the way to work can be a laxative and also cause the symptoms.
