I wish more people would respond to this comment rather than debate the benefits of putting solar on a ferry. Is there data on the avg commute distance in different cities? 50km seems like a significant distance and could cover a large number of commuters.
- sleepychu 7y agoAnecdotally 140km between Glasgow and Edinburgh (round trip) so it seems like inter-city commuting is probably out.
- chrisseaton 7y agoThat’s an extremely specific single example. Can we really usefully generalise from it? Maybe some cities are closer than these two?
- rsynnott 7y agoThe vast majority of people don't commute 140km a day.
- nkozyra 7y agoThat seems on the high end of a traditional commute; given traffic that takes, what, nearly two hours each way?
- leadingthenet 7y agoIt's closer to an hour, than it is to two.
- kingkongjaffa 7y agoI used to do 80miles (128km) a day with harsh traffic and that was 1.5 hours each way(40miles). so yes you are right it's much closer to 2hrs than 1hr.
- kingkongjaffa 7y agoVirtually no one in the UK is doing this, this is an absurd answer. 80 miles (128km) a day is a pretty harsh commute I used to do, the vast vast majority are doing significantly less than this.
- pjmlp 7y agoWhen I used to regularly visit Bristol, I got to learn quite a few that used to commute to London from Bristol and Bath surrounding areas.
- wongarsu 7y agoAnecdotally I live 8km from work (same city, Europe), making a 16km/day commute.
- jameshart 7y agoGlasgow also has only 1201 annual hours of sunshine, less than 3.5/day. What a strange example to choose...

- legulere 7y agocars are used around 10000 km per year in Germany by what I found online. That’s around 30 km per day.
