"When you have landed at the airport, the last thing passengers want to be met with is a long transfer time to their destination. Unfortunately, travelers heading from Chicago O'Hare Airport will have a transfer time of approximately 60 minutes before reaching the city centre."
The average commute to work in the city is about 10 minutes shorter than the national average, according to recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2024 American Community Survey. A Wichita worker drives an average 17.3 minutes to work every day, for a total daily commute of 35.6 minutes. Meanwhile, the average American drives 27.2 minutes each way, making for a daily commute of 54.4 minutes. For Kansas, the statewide average is 20 minutes, according to the same data set.
That adds up to more than 15 hours less over the course of a year compared to 2019. Many South Florida workers may be experiencing slightly less time in traffic as they make their way to work and home again, but the region continues to have some of the nation's longest commute times.
