You mean 250 hours a year, not a week. But 31 minutes commuting per day is super low, that's 15 minutes each way. I doubt that is really the average to be hones

You mean 250 hours a year, not a week. But 31 minutes commuting per day is super low, that's 15 minutes each way. I doubt that is really the average to be honest.
Of course with the pandemic commuting is not a big time sink anymore but I wonder how permanent this will be.
- gspr 5y agoYeah. I usually think that Americans have an insane tolerance for commuting, but 31 minutes per day is nothing! 15 minutes door-to-door to work is pretty fantastic — so fantastic that I too doubt that it's the average in the US northeast. Does this average perhaps count people who aren't working as having zero commute?
- Firadeoclus 5y agoThere is no indication that 31 minutes is per day, so I'd assume it's one way.
- gspr 5y agoAh yes, I see now that it literally says "to work". Thanks!
- GekkePrutser 5y agoBut then the calculation on a yearly basis doesn't make sense, it'd have to be doubled.

- arriu 5y agoThat average does seem quite low... However, I do live in the greater Toronto area and we're known for having terrible traffic. My pre-covid daily work commute was 2-3 hours on the 401.
