1 in 4 Brits spend a month a year commuting to work

One in four Brits spend a total of 712 hours each year – equivalent to one month –commuting to work.

According to data from transport app Ubeeqo, train commuters endure the longest travel time with the average worker spending more than two working weeks (eleven days) travelling, compared to an average of 8.8 days for car drivers over the course of a year.

Those on foot get to beat the crowds and meet their daily exercise goals, with the average person spending 53 minutes a day. One in five Brits said they’d choose walking to work over other transport methods.

Of those unable to travel by foot, over half (56%) favoured driving in, despite one in ten spending up to two hours a day behind the wheel.
