What are the totals for other group posters just so we can see if people
typically do have long or short trip times?
20 minutes each way by bike. About the same by tube, if i'm being lazy.
In a few weeks, i'm moving, and will have a slightly longer ride and a
slightly quicker tube trip.
One of the points in the article is that people with better qualifications
have longer commutes - basically, a nice way of saying that middle-class
people choose to live in the suburbs or the country and endure Odyssean
journeys to work, and working-class people live in the actual city, near
where they work. It's probably these people who are dragging the average
down. Why it's the more highly educated sector of society acts in such an
utterly boneheaded manner, i have no idea!
