... this indicates that a large proportion of journeys are very short -
to quote: "95 percent of them travelled less than 40 miles to work,
with the average commute distance being 13.6 miles".
Is that each way, or round-trip?
Earlier in the same piece: "The average single-trip distance? Just 5.95
miles".
But how many 5.95 mile trips does a (non-commuter) driver typically do
per day?
I don't drive anywhere the majority of days, but when I do it's likely
to be at least three or four ~5mile trips out-and-back, or if not that
by a strange quirk of retail store and NHS hospital location planning,
a minimum of 15miles out and 15 miles back.
