Ok, I'll bite. Where are the statistics supporting that?

In my case (Buenos Aires, IT work) it used to be the case that people all over the city and surrounding areas had to commute to the city's "microcenter" (what we call the financial/historical district), resulting in typical commute times of 1 to 2 hours. Dreadful.

So your statement doesn't ring true for us in Buenos Aires.

Does it hold true for the rest of the country? As in most of the country?

I think it's better in the rest of the country, but since (unlike say in the US) a disproportionate number of Argentinians are concentrated in Buenos Aires, and the major tech companies are here, the rest of the country doesn't really matter in this context (with a few exceptions that don't even come close to Buenos Aires).

What statistics are you working with to support your point about planet Earth?
