RAsher Weiss, in a shiur on tefillat haderech, similarly expressed grave
reservations about the recitation of tefillat haderech on
routine trips which do not involve any particular acute danger, and
indicated that his personal practice is not to say tefillat haderech (at
least with a bracha) on said routine trips. OTOH, he was apparently very
reluctant to issue a definitive psak that others should do the same, in the
face of common established practice.
