GP said “door to door” in 1 hour, which you seem to be overlooking.

  No, I'm not overlooking that. I pointed out that an hour door to door is a very long commute, and just used one example to demonstrate how far a 1 hour commute takes you. Here's the actual data: https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2021/one-way-travel-time-to-work-rises.html https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2021/one-way-... New York City's average commute time is the highest among US cities, and it's still well below an hour: https://www.zippia.com/advice/average-commute-time-statistics/ https://www.zippia.com/advice/average-commute-time-statistic...

    From the census.gov link you posted: "The longest average travel times were associated with various forms of public transportation. For example, workers who traveled to work by bus had an average commute of 46.6 minutes." From the zippia.com link: "Public transportation in the U.S. takes up to 85% longer than commuting by car." "Subways have the longest average commute times in the U.S. at 47 minutes." These are US-centric stats. My experience in Europe is that they are not bad numbers and still show than it's easy to commute for 1 hour door to door by public transport. For instance it's common to commute by train in which case you need to add the time to get to the train station and back plus the time you spend at the station.
