That is very interesting data. I always assumed that USA commutes are longer. It would be interesting to get a breakdown by means of transport. My commute is almost 25 minutes: 10 minutes by subway and 15 minutes walking. I could make it faster, but that will require to use two buses and the subway. I prefer to just walk, sometimes I even walk all the way up home. But, it could be reasonable that taking public transport people has to walks more and it takes longer to get to places. For car oriented cities you can just park at your office parking lot and you are done. update: Also Netherlands is its own category. "Cycling is a common mode of transport in the Netherlands, with 36% of Dutch people listing the bicycle as their most frequent way of getting around on a typical day"
