Your experience is atypical. The median commute time in the United States is 25.4 minutes each way. The HN zeitgeist's insistence on living in major cities and taking public transit has a drastic cost in terms of commute time as well as money, one that most Americans do not pay.
- Draiken 8y agoThe US is only one country in the world. I imagine this median goes up if we include more countries. Regardless, my point stands. with that median we'd have 50 minutes every day which would total to ~4h/week literally wasted moving around.
