See also, from the article: "Commuter rail passengers spend an average of 69 minutes traveling to work, far longer than those taking bus or light rail." Gee, could that be because they're traveling longer? (It's certainly not because commuter rail trains travel slower than a typical New York City bus!)
- ItsMonkk 4y agoThis is also a natural result of how much more pleasant taking rail is compared to driving. Sort of a induced demand and Jevon's paradox effect going on here. Since you don't need to actively pay attention to the road you can multi-task, and that means that you can buy a house farther away. If there is no way to commute by rail, the house that you will select will need to be closer to your work, and will therefore likely be more expensive.
