The former lawyer turned time management coach Kelly Nolan suggests starting with a commute audit to assess its true impact. Begin by blocking it out on a calendar. Creating a visual representation of how much commuting takes out of your day gives an accurate picture. It's not just about how much free time you have left, it's about seeing how commuting affects other activities in your life.
"We only have one car," the victim's tearful wife, a public school teacher, said. "He didn't want a second car. He loved that scooter. He went to work on it. The only thing he didn't use it for was to transport the kids." "He had it for a while," she added. "He loved it. I was like, 'We need a second car. We have two kids now.' And he's like, 'We don't need it.'"

For all of the professional gains women have made over the past several decades, one stubborn measure of inequality-the gender wage gap-has been especially difficult to stamp out. And it's a disparity that can be traced in large part to parenthood. In nearly every country on Earth, the arrival of children tends to coincide with a lasting drop in employment and earnings for moms but not dads.
Remitly evaluated more than 170 major cities based on five metrics: cost of living, commuting congestion, crime, pollution and access to healthcare. And New York landed at the top of the list with a stress score of 7.56 out of 10. The most stress-inducing aspect of NYC for most residents was the cost of living, which is no surprise to anyone who has ever tried to order a burger at a restaurant without a loan. But finances aren't the only pressure. The study also cites long commute times as another major stressor, while crime and public-safety concerns weighed heavily.
As Joburg shifts towards hybrid work and suburban hubs start buzzing like mini city centres, we might finally be heading towards something better: the rise of the 15-minute city. The idea, popularised by French urbanist Carlos Moreno, is simple: everything you need (work, food, fitness, childcare, errands, downtime) should be within a 15-minute walk of home. Paris made it famous. But Joburg, with its scattered nodes and endless commute culture, might be the city that needs it most.
Whether it's on the bus, in the car, or on foot, the daily commute is something that many people dread.

A man named Austin, who goes by TinMan on TikTok, recently shared his payout after a full day of bartending. It's a job that has him in the car for over an hour each way. "Austin, why do you commute an hour to bartend?" he asks, echoing the question he gets a lot regarding his "strange" choice. "I'll tell you why." He then shows off his payout from the day's work, holding a receipt that indicates $543.09 in credit card tips.
The best electric road bikes can almost go unnoticed these days, so discreet do they now look. But when you need an assist, the motor is there to help you climb hills in more comfort or keep up with faster riders. They're also great fun to ride. Many handle just like a normal road bike and they utilise a lot of the same components regular road bikes do, like the best road bike wheels and best road bike tyres,
There's something fundamentally American about the freedom to get in your car and drive. Driving is self-determination. The liberty to set your own course. The power to move under your own willpower, whether for duty or sheer pleasure. Despite some decline among Gen Zers, plenty of teens still eagerly anticipate getting their driver's license. In many American towns, where public transportation and walkability are scarce, driving is what empowers you to explore.
It doesn't feel as accessible as when you are in central or west London where there's a bridge like every kilometre. When I started using [the tunnel], I would go to work and the north lift wouldn't be working in the morning and then on the way back south, that one would not be working. It was very on and off.
It's where I grew up, and we'd spent years happily raising our family there. We had a great community and liked our kids' schools - we only began thinking about leaving once my husband had to start commuting to downtown Los Angeles for work. It wasn't easy, and the appeal of a lower-cost, slower-paced life began to grow. We set our sights on Tennessee, where a lot of my husband's family lives.
A typical weekday in NYC starts with the buzz of an alarm clock, leaving the house on time and battling the sounds of honking horns before tackling a seemingly never-ending to-do list. But a ride on a Queens express bus offers a quiet reprieve within that hectic morning routine.

One of the top must haves I hear from (out of state) new Boston condo for sale buyers? A straightforward commute to downtown Boston. With many companies now requiring a few days a week in the office, living near reliable public transit has become more important than ever. If you're house hunting with that in mind, here are the neighborhoods I think offer the best access to the T (subway):
"It's not very expensive to operate," Reece Martin, a Toronto-based independent transportation planner, told Day 6 host Brent Bambury. "And frankly, they're not very expensive to build, either."
"There are only 21 bikes using it a day to get to work. But there are nearly 21,000 cars backed up for miles trying to get to work," said Joshua Arce with California Alliance for Jobs.
