If you think your morning or evening commutes have gotten busier, you’re not alone.
New Census Bureau survey data shows drivers across America are dealing with longer commute times, as commuting using cars is crawling back post-pandemic.
The rate of people driving to work alone climbed from 67.8% in 2021 to 68.7% in 2022, and for carpoolers it went from 7.8% to 8.6%. The actual time people spent traveling to work jumped almost a full minute, from 25.8 minutes to 26.4 minutes.
On Long Island, commuters told CBS New York’s John Dias problems have been plaguing the Long Island Expressway.
“Almost like a bad marriage,” said driver Addo Wessin.
If he could, Wessin said he would divorce the LIE since his commute time almost doubled recently.
