Ten biggest gripes for commuting staff revealed

The average commuter will spend over a year getting to and from work, so it’s only natural that frustration and resentment will seep into some journeys.

Over half surveyed were miffed at long traffic jams, and a quarter were annoyed by the constant delays in public transport, and the cost. The average cost of a commute comes in at £82 a month, with Londoners paying the most - £116 a month.

Research carried out by One Poll, on behalf of Get Living London, found that the average British traveller spends one year and 35 days commuting – at a cost of approximately £42,000.

Nearly half (47%) were unwilling to work too far from their homes, with anything over 48 minutes being too far. 21% have turned down a job offer because the workplace was too distant.
