They are trying hard to make you not notice you’re spending a week of your life driving each year.

    About 26 minutes each way according to my math, but that’s still a great commute. My commute by mass transit was three times as long.

    In my experience, there are three common sorts of commute:

    1. Fast by car.

    2. Slow by car.

    3. Slow by mass transit.

    I guess type 2 commutes aren’t common in Canada, so they don’t bring down the average?

      Depends on city. Me driving from outer metro to Vancouver is 1:30 due to traffic. Taking the bus is 2 hours because of walking time where bus route doesn’t fully service area. Would probably be equal with full service.

        For me, that’s a small enough difference that I’d be fine with taking the bus even if it’s a longer commute time, because I can zone out/nap/read/whatever on the bus, but not if I’m driving
