Rise of the 'super-commuter': Number of Britons travelling three hours each day for work soars by 50 per cent in five years

The number of ‘super-commuter’ Britons who take 90 minutes to get to work has soared by 50 per cent in the last five years, according to a new report.

The study shows the average UK worker spends 41 minutes commuting every day.

But the number spending a total of three hours or more travelling has risen to 1.84million - or nine per cent of the workforce.

According to the results, accountants have the longest average daily commute – 75.6 minutes – followed by IT workers at 65.6 minutes.

1. That is too sad.

I live 10 blocks from work and couldn't imagine traveling that distance. I have a cousin that lives in London and he says it's more expensive then Manhattan - and he lived in the village.
