City View Share Where Commuters Have it Best



Some cities have it better when it comes to commuting from work and back home. City View takes a look at where commuters have it best.

The daily one-way commute for this writer is 40 minutes. In other cities, the commute can be much longer – sometimes an hour or more each way. But for some people, the commute is short and sweet, or they get to and from work on reliable public transportation. Report results from the University of Michigan state that the commute time in Oklahoma City are only 20.7 minutes while it takes almost 40 minutes in New York.  Bostonians seem to have it best with the shortest commute length, and also for those who can walk to work.

The City View television show also notes that nearly 6 percent of people who live in Portland, Oregon bike to work, since it is a very bike-friendly city.

Working from home is the one of the most pleasant and convenient ways to work. Employees avoid more wear and tear on their autos and don’t have to worry about traffic and accidents causing delays. Portland ranks well in this category also, as does Austin, Texas. The university study also notes that most of us like to drive alone – 75% of us prefer to go solo.

Whichever way we get to and from work every day, one thing is clear: we need to be entertained. From radios to streaming music from Bluetooth devices, nothing is worse than a boring commute.
