Our commutes suck

From the Daily News:

The three average longest commutes in the mainland U.S. are all within the five boroughs: Staten Island is first at 42.5 minutes, followed by Queens and Brooklyn.

The national commuting average was 25.2 minutes per day.

The estimates come from the Census Bureau's five-year American Community Survey, conducted between 2005-09. The survey contained more than 11 billion pieces of information, county-by-county for every state in the nation.

The three average longest commutes in the MAINLAND U.S..


Staten Island is NOT on the mainland
Queens and Brookyln (Long Island) are NOT on the mainland.

The only part of the 5 boroughs that IS on the main is The Bronx.

All trains lead to Manhattan, not
to spots in between. We need a loop line.

Loop line it is! The only interboro train that bypasses Manhattan is the G, and that's a poor excuse for a train. There should be a Bronx-Queens-Brookyln loop that may or may not pass through Manhattan.
