The highest average commute times in the us are under 40 minutes in spite of that [0]. We have enough cars and car infrastructure that only a few % are stuck with buses; their poor performance has little impact on overall journey times. The average is about 25 minutes and it goes up by only a few minutes in especially congested places. (If a 5 minute traffic jam is existentially distressing, wait till you see what waiting for the train is like). https://www.npr.org/2018/09/20/650061560/stuck-in-traffic-youre-not-alone-new-data-show-american-commute-times-are-longer https://www.npr.org/2018/09/20/650061560/stuck-in-traffic-yo...
