I used to commute 1 hour one way pre Covid, so 10 hours per week. If I go into the office for only 2 days a week I could live twice as far from my workplace and still only commute 8 hours a week. I was meaning to say that even with 2 days in-Office per week it opens up possibilities regarding housing.
I was spending 1,5 hours per day in a train, and walking to the station for 10 minutes or so, yes.
If you live two hours from your office and go in for three days per week, that's 2h per leg * 2 legs per day * 3 days per week = 12 hours per week on the road.
You were spending more than 12 hours per week in traffic?
The average commute in the United States is a little less than 30 minutes [1]. That's 5 hours per week for someone who works five days per week.
