On September 2nd, a girl in Shanghai was commuting. The 6.5 -hour experience of 6.5 hours a day aroused the attention of netizens. According to reports, Miss Jin, who lives in Zhujing Town, Jinshan District, Shanghai, works in a company in Yangpu District. Due to the long distance, she had to ride an electric bicycle to the bus station. After taking a bus for an hour and a half, transfer to the subway. After arriving at the station, take a bus to work in the park where the company is located. It takes 3 hours and 15 minutes one way, and it costs 800 yuan per month.

Many people may ask that public transportation is indeed more time -consuming. Now ordinary private cars are not expensive. Why not buy a car and drive get off work? And Miss Jin's answer is that if you drive, about 100 kilometers one way, it will take nearly 2 hours to meet the morning and evening peaks, about 4 hours back and forth. About yuan.

Miss Jin's system calculation time to commute time

Someone asked again, why not rent a house next to the company? According to the real estate information service platform, the average rental price of Yangpu District, Shanghai in September was 4,300 yuan, which was actually not much different from driving to and from get off work. Judging from Miss Jin's helpless choice of such a long commute time, her salary may not be able to afford this cost.

Ms. Jin, who could not bear this extreme commute, has left the job. And her commuting suffering, many people who worked hard in big cities felt the same. Some people say that the good point is the extreme commuting. Isn't it exhausted? Some people have calculated a account, spending 6 hours a day on the road, 30 hours a week 5 days, 120 hours a month, equivalent to 5 days and 5 nights, feeling the "meat pain" that wasted life.

On various social platforms, you can often see the pain of workers' commuting and commuting: long -term staying on closed public transport, torture the torture of traffic congestion, whether they are sitting or standing in pain, noise, air stagnation, stagnation of air stagnation It is difficult to relax even if you play games and watch dramas, but can cause vision damage and headache.

However, more and more people are now plagued by this "culprit". Data show that in China, more than 14 million people are enduring extreme commuting of more than 60 minutes, and nearly 6 million are young people. Although some financial experts believe that long -term commuting may lead to office workers who are keen to consume online consumption, thereby increasing residents' income and driving family consumption. But so many young people spend time on the road, how to think is a very mechanical and depressed thing. Moreover, the city is composed of people after all, created by people. City residents, especially young people, feel uncomfortable because of commuting, which will inevitably lead to the vitality and creativity of the entire city.

Miss Jin's vomiting post on social platforms

It is a problem to alleviate the suffering of commuting in large cities around the world. In general, creating a richer and convenient way to transport transportation is one of the most immediate measures. The reason why Miss Jin's commuting is particularly "limited" mainly because she has no subway station near her home and is far from the bus station. It must be converted to the transportation method, which consumes a lot of time and energy. If the coverage of rail transit can be wider, the way to reach the subway station can be more convenient, even if the distance is far away, it may not need to spend so much time every day.

Whether it is to further facilitate the green travel of citizens, make bicycles and electric bicycles easier on the road, and unblock the blocking point of the "last mile"; or further develop rail transit to allow more subways and light rails to the door of the house; Space planning, optimizing the layout of urban residence and employment, urban development cannot only pay attention to macro numbers, but also with gentle eyes, watch those who run on the road and work hard for urban development.
