San Franciscans stuck at work, in traffic longer than almost any city “We extracted commuting characteristics by one-year estimates (20) and analyzed cities with a population larger than 500,000 people,” Commercial Cafe writer Robert Demeter says, adding that “ cities were selected based on the most and least time spent in traffic.” The data used to reach these conclusions comes out of the US Census and the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. In San Jose, an average 2008 commute was 51.6 hours, but that’s spiked to 67.6 now.
Multiply those eight minutes across a 50-week working year and it comes out to nearly 39 hours. The average SF commuter spends 67.6 minutes commuting every day, according to the report, compared to 58.6 in 2008. Tragically, those are the two highest commute time hikes among the cities that Commercial Cafe surveyed in its report with the in this case redundant title of “ Are You Living in One of the Cities Where Commuting Time Increased the Most or Least?”
#AER SF COMMUTER FULL#
If it seems like your commute is getting longer every day, that’s not your imagination.Ĭommercial Cafe-the commercial real estate arm of the online rental platform Rent Cafe-claims that the average San Francisco commuter spends an additional 39 hours per year driving (or taking public transit) to and from work compared to 2008, and San Jose workers are stuck commuting almost a full two days extra relative to a decade ago, 47.7 more hours yearly in all.
