SURVEY SAYS: How Is Your Commute?
Last week, I asked NewsDash readers about their daily commute to work, and to share any interesting commuting stories or tips for a better commute. The majority (58%) of responding readers reported their commute was 30 minutes or less. Thirty percent have a commute that lasts 30 minutes to one hour, and 12% have a commute that lasts one to two hours. The largest proportion of readers (42%) indicated they have no road rage or anger toward other commuters while traveling to work. Thirty-six percent said they do experience this on occasion; 15% said they experience road rage or anger often; and 7% indicated they experience this daily. When asked for interesting commute stories or tips for a better commute, one reader mentioned almost hitting a cow in the middle of the road, and the most common recommendation was to leave home with plenty of time to get to work. But, the response that made me laugh out loud was: “I was having some issues with circulation in my hands and was very concerned that if I were lose the use of my middle fingers I would no longer be able to communicate with my fellow commuters.”
