We don't know how far she works. We only know how long her commute takes. Bus routes in cities without good bus infrastructure are often circuitous and don't represent the fastest way to get to any particular place on the route.
- outworlder 7y agoFair point. We do know that it would take 25 minutes by car, but two full hours by bus. My commute is about 10 minutes by car. Which works out to 4 miles (3 by bike, because there's a trail). So it's doable – if those same 10 minutes where at highway speeds, it would be less so. Regardless, it's getting better, but even 3 miles gets me sweaty and I have to take a shower. We can safely assume this person's commute to be longer. Now she has to go to work all sweaty – at a customer facing role. This won't be well-received.

- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoShe can't live that far out of town, because the buses scarcely go five miles from the city center. https://godurhamtransit.org/sites/default/files/godurham-system-map.pdf https://godurhamtransit.org/sites/default/files/godurham-sys...
