If they commute 235 miles per year then they don’t need a train at all because that is a commute of around half a mile each way per day which is easily walkable

If they commute 235 miles per year then they don’t need a train at all because that is a commute of around half a mile each way per day which is easily walkable. That number is so ridiculously low I suspect the source is wrong.
- kube-system 4y agoMaybe so. A government source says: > Even though average miles travelled for commuting purposes has declined to 799 miles travelled per person in 2020, a decrease of 37% compared to 2019 (1,276 miles travelled per person) and an overall decrease of 43% compared to 2002 (1,400 miles travelled per person) https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/national-travel-survey-2020/national-travel-survey-2020 https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/national-travel-sur... So, still close to an order of magnitude less than my anecdotal data. The bottom line is that the US definitely has a lot of sprawl.
