“…Commuting by private vehicles provides people more flexibility in adjusting travel speed, departure time and routes when the circumstances allow, while commuting by public transit makes people captive to its specific schedules and predetermined routes and stops. This contention is confirmed in studies by Kwan and Kotsev [16] and Vincent-Geslin and Ravalet [19], who found that transit users spent more time on their trips than car users.…”

“…Other socio-demographic factors such as age, household income, work status, driving license possession, car availability, and level of education are also associated with long duration commuting [19,21,22]. For instance, Selima [22] in a case study conducted in the Atlanta area found that high-income workers have longer mean commuting times, while Black workers who are still heavily concentrated in city centre had shorter commuting times.…”

The phenomenon of affordable housing emerges in Chinese cities to meet low-income residents’ living needs in the city. Because affordable housing projects tend to be located far away from the city centre, their residents tend to face long commuting times to go to work. Although several studies have analysed commuting travel times, none have considered the commuting pattern of residents living in these affordable housing projects. This study employs a decision tree classifier to examine the commuting time patterns of affordable housing residents, fusing the data from the 2010 Nanjing Household Travel Survey and supplementary data collected through Google maps. Results show that attributes of the built environment and distance to work are the factors mostly influencing commuting time patterns of affordable housing residents in Nanjing. The availability of a subway service, job type, household car ownership, job location, travel mode choice, and departure time have logical but varying effects on commuting trip duration. These results provide a better understanding of these residents’ commuting patterns and provide urban planners insights about the effects of their affordable housing policies on travel behaviour.

“…This is a nuisance and a disadvantageous and socially unacceptable phenomenon. Commonly accepted conclusions from transit research indicate that the travel time of everyday commuting should not exceed half an hour (Dziadek 1991;He, Zhao & He 2016;Vincent-Geslin & Ravalet 2016). For traveling by bicycle, Grava says that "there is general consensus that very few people would ride more than 16 km on a regular basis each day, which can be covered in less than 1 hour.…”

The paper presents conclusions of the survey conducted in Gdańsk in October 2017. The study aimed to compare travel times between the largest residential districts in Gdańsk and the area of the business-academic center. The research was aimed at showing time losses on the commuting trips and their organizational and infrastructural causes, which lead to the extension of the actual travel time. Based on the identified time losses and their causes, recommendations regarding further organizational and investment work were presented to improve the competitiveness of public urban transport and bicycles in relation to the cars.
