Which Professions Have the Longest Commutes?
- zhte415 11y agoIt is just stunning seeing how many people drive. 90%+, across professions.
- api_or_ipa 11y agoThat, IMO, is the biggest take away. In a dense urban core, alternative transport competes more readily with cars. As it stands, 0.6% bike transport is very sad. I recently moved from Vancouver, where in comparison to most NA cities we've done a lot to increase alternative transport methods. It's downright sad to see the lack of infrastructure and the vicious cycle of driving -> urban spawl and the proliferation of massive parking lots and isolated islands of wakability. * Vancouver has crumby weather compared to the beautiful weather that Silicon Valley gets. More should be done to encourage biking and public transit. There really isn't any excuse.
- alblue 11y agoThe title should have "in America" added, as it is entirely US specific.
- theandrewbailey 11y agoWow. I'm going to be moving soon, and I hope to trim down my 25-30 minute commute to about 10 minutes, if I chose to still use a car. I should also have the option of light rail.
- cafard 11y agoI take it this is each way. Mine is about right, though I cheat by not counting the evening commute, when buses tend to bunch, nor by counting the days I walk and double my time. I have to say that the numbers seem low for the Washington, DC, area.
