After so many years riding the Tokyo trains

I found the sentence (a). I know what the writer means, but, strictly, is it grammatically correct? I suspect it should be (b), (c) or something like that.


(a) I had to practice driving a car again after so many years riding the Tokyo trains.


(b) ... after riding the Tokyo trains for so many years.

(c) ... after so many years of riding the Tokyo trains.
